Scanning a Device for Viruses
Before you begin
Update the device's virus definitions before performing a virus scan to achieve the best results.
About this task
To perform a virus scan on a device:
Procedure
- Select the device(s) that you want to scan for viruses and, in the Device Actions menu bar, select More > Scan for Viruses.
- In the Scan for Viruses dialog box, enable Quick Virus Scan to perform a scan limited to the areas of your device that malicious software is most likely to infect.
- If applicable, select the warning message at the bottom of the dialog box to see why SOTI MobiControl cannot run a virus scan on some selected devices.
- Select Scan for Viruses.
Results
Results of the virus scan appear in the Device Information panel.
Note: Initiating a full scan while a quick scan is in progress will override the ongoing quick scan. A full scan reviews all files on your device's hard disk and any running programs.
