Running a scheduled scan on demand When you create and save a scheduled scan, Symantec AntiVirus remembers the server group, server, or computer on which to run the scan and also remembers all of the settings that you chose for that specific scan. After you configure a scheduled scan (and all of its scan properties), you might want to run it on demand at some time other than when you originally scheduled it. This can save you the effort of configuring and running a manual scan with similar properties.
