maneet kaur 1 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hi How often does the ESET scans run on computer? Is there a way to check it from remote management centre? and if the scan starts on itself, what triggers that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,231 Posted June 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2019 There is no disk scan scheduled by default. It's not needed since files are scanned as being downloaded or saved to a disk plus a startup scan is run after each update and when the computer starts. Moreover, it's also possible to run idle-state scans when the computer is idling. I would not recommend running a scheduled full disk scan more often that once a week or even month.

maneet kaur 1 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 by update you mean the windows update or the eset update? does eset have an option where the scans are scheduled for users weekly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,231 Posted June 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2019 1, I meant ESET modules updates. There are typically 6 updates per day plus recent program versions also support streamed updates which are issued in an approx. 10 min. interval. 2, Disk scans can be scheduled under Tools -> Scheduler.

maneet kaur 1 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 can we stop the scan every time the modules are updated? carlos rod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, they run at low priority and only scan commonly used files: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneet kaur 1 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 ok, and how often the module updates are sent by eset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On average approximately 6 per day. Most of the updates are signature ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, the scan is very quick and should be unnoticeable. Second, it scans areas, such as UEFI and WMI so disabling startup scan tasks would leave them not scanned.
