Enabling and Disabling the Pause Setting for On-Demand Scans

The Pause setting for on-demand malware scans allows you to control the endpoint user's ability to delay and resume on-demand malware scans running on their endpoint for a defined period of time. You can use the Web UI or the API to enable or disable the pause 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 pause 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 pause setting for on-demand malware scans.
