Trend Micro recommends that you do not schedule a scan at the same time as a scheduled update. This may cause the Scheduled Scan to stop prematurely. Similarly, if you begin a Manual Scan when a Scheduled Scan is running, the scan stops, but will run again according to its schedule.
- Navigate to Scans > Scheduled Scan.
- Click the Schedule tab.
- Configure the scan frequency (daily, weekly,
or monthly) and start time. Each group or Messaging Security Agent
can have its own schedule.
Note:
For monthly Scheduled Scans, if you select 31, 30, or 29 days and a month has less than the number of days, the scan will not run that month.
- (Optional) Select Shut down the client after completing a Scheduled Scan.
- Click Save.
- Configure the scan frequency (daily, weekly,
or monthly) and start time. Each group or Messaging Security Agent
can have its own schedule.
- Click the Settings tab and configure any required Scheduled Scan
settings.
