On-Demand and Real-Time Scan Settings Wizards

When an end user initiates a Manual Scan from the CPM client console, the scan settings reflect the latest settings configured by the administrator for an On-Demand Scan. For example, an administrator might schedule an On-Demand Scan on every Thursday 12:00 PM that scans all file types. Then the administrator might run an On-Demand scan with different scan settings, maybe scanning only for .EXE files, at 14:00 PM. If an end user runs a Manual Scan at 15:00 PM, and the administrator has not changed the settings, the end user’s Manual Scan will only scan for EXE files, not all file types.
