Smart Scan
Smart Scan is designed to identify and remove threats from your device, helping keep you secure online. It includes an advanced scan that checks for threats in areas like auto-run entries, hidden services, critical registry keys and important OS files/folders as well as looking out for social engineering malware such as worms which infiltrate emails, instant messages, shared files or network folders by persuading users to open emails, instant messages, shared files or network folders.
Our Mac antivirus solution’s Smart Scan feature can assist in detecting virus symptoms like slow performance, strange file activity, and frequent system crashes – telltale signs that something malicious could be present on your machine.
With Smart Scan, our Mac antivirus can automatically clean infected files to restore performance and help recover any lost data from infected devices, so you can get back to work without fear of losing files or personal information.
Real-time scans scan your computers for new malware threats whenever they are received, opened, downloaded, copied or modified. When detected, Deep Security agent immediately connects to Smart Protection Server for File Reputation Service in order to assess risk before downloading an anti-malware pattern for it. You may choose whether or not Smart Scan should run per target if synchronizing computer with portable hard disk drive for instance.
Real-time Protection
Real time protection (RTP) is a feature offered by Antivirus software which continuously monitors your system for threats, and prevents them from infiltrating your files and making any modifications that could allow viruses access. RTP offers additional layers of security which cannot be achieved with file scanning alone.
This technology is integrated into many types of cybersecurity programs and works by actively monitoring your device and detecting any files or programs that may contain malware, and then immediately quarantining or removing the threat before it causes any harm to your PC, keeping you safe and secure against viruses and malware.
Real-time protection can be enabled or disabled from within your antivirus software settings; it is generally recommended that it remain enabled at all times. If you choose to turn it off, any files downloaded from the internet won’t be scanned for potential threats; alternatively, you can view its status in the program dashboard.
Malwarebytes’ Real-time Protection feature protects Windows computers running version 4 or later of Malwarebytes by actively blocking malware, exploits, ransomware and malicious websites in real time. You can check if it is currently enabled by viewing your Dashboard; unfortunately though this feature will not work with Windows 10/11 S mode computers.
