Pausing a Scheduled Scan on the Endpoint

Prev Next

When the pause setting is enabled for on-demand malware scans, the malware scan window appear on host endpoints during an active on-demand malware scan. This window informs the user that a scheduled malware scan is in progress and allows the user to delay the scheduled malware scan for a defined time interval and resume the scan later.

To pause an on-demand malware scan on the host endpoint:

  1. Log in to a host endpoint currently running Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent version 26 or later.

  2. Click on the malware scan pop-up window when an on-demand malware scan is in progress.

  3. Click Pause Scan to pause the active scan.

  4. Click Resume to restart the active scan.
