Enabling and Disabling the Cancel Setting for On-Demand Scans

When the malware scan cancel setting is enabled, users in your enterprise can terminate on-demand malware scans running on their endpoint. You can use the Web UI or the API to enable or disable the cancel setting for on-demand malware scans for all of your host endpoints or for select host sets in your environment.

Ensure that malware detection (Signature and Heuristic Detections) and scheduled scans are turned on before you enable the pause setting. See Enabling and Disabling Malware Detection and MalwareGuard and Configuring On-Demand Malware Scans for more information.

This section covers how to use the Web UI to enable and disable the cancel setting for on-demand malware scans. See the Endpoint Security (HX) REST API Guide for information on using the API to enable and disable the cancel setting for on-demand malware scans.
