Scheduling Antivirus Scans (AVG Business Cloud Console)

 

Via your console's policy settings, you can schedule the following Antivirus scans to run at a specified frequency:

• Quick Scan: Scans for common threats
• Full System Scan: Runs a detailed scan of every file on the device(s)

Currently, custom scans can be scheduled only via the local client (see Creating and Configuring Scheduled Scans).

 

To set up a recurring Quick/Full System Scan:

1. Open the Policies page
2. Click the desired policy to open its Detail drawer
3. Click the Settings tab, then Antivirus
4. Expand the Antivirus Scans section

5. Choose the desired scan frequency for Quick Scan and/or Full System Scan:
   • Hourly
   • Daily (choose time)
   • Weekly (choose day of the week and time)
   • Monthly (choose day of the month and time)
6. For monthly scans, please ensure the day of the month you’ve chosen occurs every month. For example, do not choose the 31st day of the month unless you specifically want to skip scanning on months without 31 days.

6. Save your changes
