Balancing scanning with other business needs
- Conserve processing power maintain productivity
- Clean file cache to limit needless scanning
- If file is clean and filename listed in cache,
not scanned again - Risk based scanning options for different classes
of applications or processes. Scan more where you
need to, less where you dont. - Low Risk Processes set a scanning configuration
for processes that are low risk for causing or
spreading infection backup software, system
processes, databases. Likely scenario Limited or
no scanning - High Risk Processes set a scanning configuration
for processes that are high risk for causing or
spreading infection browsers, email clients, MS
Office applications. Likely scenario Stringent
scanning - Default All other processes that are not
included in the Low or High Risk lists. Likely
scenario Moderate scanning

7Scanning Enhancements -- Precise Control
- High-risk processes
- Likely scenario Strict scanning
lOW-risk processes Likely scenario Reduced
scanning
8Scanning Enhancements -- Precise Control
- Report location of potentially unwanted programs
- AVERT decides what is potentially unwanted and
adds detection signatures to DATs. Password
crackers, etc. - McAfees role is to locate and inform, not delete
9Scanning Enhancements -- On Demand
- Resumable scanning
- Program scheduled scans to avoid times when other
computing demands are high - If scan not complete when task stops, scanning
re-starts where it left off when scheduled time
reoccurs
10Scanning Enhancements -- On Demand
- CPU utilization control
- Specifies the approximate CPU utilization for a
scheduled scan - Previously available only on servers. Now
available for both desktop and server scheduled
scans - Intelligent handling of files not readily
accessible - Disable scanning of files migrated to an archive
location by a hierarchical storage manager
11Improved Exclusion Capability
- Exclusion capability handles
- Wildcards
- Files and Folders
- Exclude by file age
- Exclude files protected by Windows File
Protection - Specify exclusions to occur on read or write or
