The Scanning Tool can check the endpoint for security threats after you plug it in. The Scanning Tool can also fix, quarantine, or just log the threats found. The results of each scan are saved on the Scanning Tool.
-
If the Scanning Tool does not start, you can open Windows Explorer and double-click Launcher.exe from the TMPS3 SYS partition.
-
The Scanning Tool console is only available for Windows computers.
Each Scanning Tool launches its own console. However, the features seen on the console depends on the mode you choose. You can choose either Standalone Scanning Tool or Management Program.
Refer to Management Program Mode.
Make sure you select the correct mode because you can only change the mode after activation if you reset the device.
For more information, see Reset Device.
