The following on-demand scan types are available through the Endpoint Security (HX) Web UI:
Time-based global malware scans occur daily, weekly, or monthly, based on your configuration settings.
Event-based global malware scans occur when malware signatures are updated or when the host endpoint boots or reboots.
Time-based exception malware scans occur daily, weekly, or monthly, for selected host sets in your enterprise. Host sets that apply this scheduled scan exception policy are excluded from the global scheduled scans.
