Introduction

Scheduled Scans

What is a Scheduled Scan?
From the Scheduled Scan screen, it is possible to view and edit the times when XGate will scan computers on your network for Viruses and/or Spyware.

The Scheduled Scans screen comes with 3 default scans. These are daily scans set to occur at 10am, 1pm and 5pm. It is recommended that to set up scans to run during times that your computer(s) will be switched on but are not being intensively used.

Analogy
Scheduled scans can be thought of similarly to setting your video recorder to record television programmes from your Television at a certain time and date.
