The antivirus protection for Android smartphones protects corporate devices against the installation of malware-infected apps and PUPs, scanning both the devices and their SD memory cards on access and on demand.
Select the Enable permanent antivirus protection checkbox to enable malware detection. Additionally, select the Detect PUPs checkbox to also detect potentially unwanted programs.
The Android protection allows you to exclude installed apps from the scans. To do this, follow the steps below:
Enter the name of the Android package (.apk) that you want to exclude, and click Add.
Use the Delete and Clear buttons to clear or edit the contents of the list of exclusions.
To update the signature file automatically, select Enable automatic knowledge updates. Additionally, you can choose to update the protection exclusively through Wi-Fi networks to avoid extra data charges.
To schedule a scan, click the New button.
Use the options in the New scan job window to configure the scan type: immediate, scheduled or periodic.
As you create scan tasks, these will appear on the list of scheduled scans for the profile whose antivirus protection you are configuring. You can edit or delete them from there.
Immediate scan: Once you have configured the scan, it will take place as soon as the device connects to the Adaptive Defense 360 server.
Scheduled scan: The scan will take place at the configured date and time. For that to happen, you need to configure the scan sufficiently in advance. If there is no connection to the Adaptive Defense 360 server at the scheduled date and time, the scan will take place as soon as the connection is re-established.
Periodic scan: The scan will take place at the date and time that you set in the corresponding fields with the corresponding frequency. As with scheduled scans, it is advisable to configure periodic scans sufficiently in advance to ensure there is connection with the Adaptive Defense 360 server. Otherwise, the scan will take place as soon as the connection is re-established.
