To configure the Malware Scan automation task:

1. Sign in to your Owner or Admin account in the Admin Dashboard, then go to Automation.

2. In the Malware Scan widget, click Add automation.

   

   The task settings dialog opens.

3. In the task settings, configure the following:

   • Choose how often to run the task (Weekly, Bi-weekly, or Monthly)

   • Choose whether to scan PKG files and DMG disk image files

   • Choose the scan mode:

     • Balanced Scan: Offers a blend of speed and thoroughness. Scans a wide range of files and system locations, providing a balanced approach to security checkups.

     • Deep Scan: Conducts an exhaustive examination of your entire system, diving into every file and folder. Best used when maximum security assurance is needed or after a suspected malware activity.

     • Quick Scan: Scans the most vulnerable areas of your system for immediate threats. Ideal for regular checkups or if you're simply short on time.
