    • Open Xcitium Client Security
    • Click the 'Antivirus' tab

    When infected or possibly infected files are found, if the anti-virus database has been not updated for a critically long time, or your computer has not been scanned for a long time, the main window of Xcitium Client - Security recommends a course of action and gives a supporting explanation.

     

    Automatic updates

    • By default, ССS is set to automatically check for and download updates from the Xcitium servers before commencing a scan of any type.
    • You can configure whether these automatic checks updates take place on a 'per scanner' basis in the 'Scanner Settings. See Real Time Scan Settings and Scheduled Scan Settings for more details.
    • 'Manual Scanning' refers to 'on demand' scans carried out on items when, for instance, they are dragged in the scan box or the Xcitium dock icon.
