The bot risk management for enterprises files every time you open, move, or delete them and monitors background activity. If it detects a threat, it automatically deals with the file, without letting you know (unless you specify that CCS should show alerts when this happens). This provides continuous protection, making full system scans unnecessary. It also means that you can safely skip scanning archives – the malware will get picked up when you expand them.

Viruses and other malicious software typically enter systems through email attachments, downloaded files, or websites you visit. They can steal your personal information, encrypt your files, or hijack system resources, among other things. Real-time malware file scanning prevents these attacks by constantly analyzing your files and comparing them to a list of known threats. If it finds a threat, it stops the program from executing or accessing the suspicious file.

If a file is deemed to be potentially infected, you are prompted to take action (quarantine or delete the file). If you click Quarantine, the file is isolated from other files and can only be restored using a recovery tool. If you click Delete, the file is permanently deleted from the server.

Comprehensive Proxy Detection Feed: How It Works and Why It Matters

Scanning uses a combination of dynamic, static, and statistical analysis to identify new types of malware. Cyber criminals are aware of these security measures, however, and develop their own methods for circumventing them. As a result, the security industry is constantly battling malware creators to produce effective countermeasures. This is why real-time malware detection is so important.
