    • The name contains 1 to 127 characters.
    • The name can contain only letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).
    • The name must be unique.

    File Type Not Scanned

    Type of files that do not require virus scanning. In the File Type Not Scanned text box, enter file name extensions and separate them with commas (,), semicolons (;), or by pressing Enter.

    You can enter maximum of 200 file types. A single file type contains 1 to 8 characters, including only letters, digits, asterisks (*), question marks (?), and underscores (_).

    Largest Scannable File

    Select Limit and set a file size. Files whose size is smaller than or equal to the value will be scanned for viruses.

    NOTE:

    If you do not select Limit, the size of files to be scanned for viruses is not limited.

    Schedule Type

    Schedule type of the scan policy. The options are as follows:

    • Weekly

      Scan for viruses at a fixed time every week. You need to set Week, Start Time, and Duration.

    • Periodic

      Scan for viruses periodically. You need to set Execution Period, Start Time, and Duration.
