After enabling on-demand malware scans, you can create up to ten scheduled scans using the Web UI only. The following on-demand global malware scan types are available:
Time-based malware scans occur daily, weekly, or monthly, based on your configuration settings
Event-based malware scans occur when malware signatures are updated or when the host endpoint boots or reboots.
Ensure that malware detection (Signature and Heuristic Detections) is turned on before you enable or create on-demand scans. See Enabling and Disabling Malware Detection and MalwareGuard for more information.
Important
Only one on-demand scan can run at a time. New scans will not run if a previously scheduled scan is still running.
This section covers how to use the Web UI to schedule time-based and event-based on-demand scans. See the Endpoint Security (HX) REST API Guide for information on using the API to schedule time-based and event-based on-demand scans.
