Scheduling scans and eUpdates
When VirusScan for Mac scans for viruses, it uses information in the DAT files to find
and remove viruses. Many new viruses are discovered daily, and McAfee regularly
creates new DAT files to provide protection from these viruses. To ensure the best
anti-virus protection, you can use ePolicy Orchestrator to inform VirusScan for Mac
where to access the latest DAT files, to create schedules for replacing earlier DAT files,
and to run On-Demand scans.
Using ePolicy Orchestrator, you can create these types of scheduled tasks for the
VirusScan for Mac software:
On-Demand scan
eUpdate
Scheduled tasks for a computer can be set to execute based on the local time or GMT
