Administration > IWSVA Configuration > Scan Method
Use this screen to configure the scan methods for the data and Web sites. IWSVA provides three types of scans:
  • Smart Scan with Global Smart Protection Server (SPS)—Smart Scan uses Trend Micro’s Smart Protection Network to scan web sites and data. Smart Scan leverages the threat signatures stored in-the-cloud to provide the latest and most updated protection.
  • Smart Scan with Local Smart Protection Server (SPS)—To avoid latency introduced in cloud scans, IWSVA sends scan requests to your local smart protection server. The Local Smart Protection Server will provide more privacy and improve the processing speed. Protection is automatically updated and strengthened as more products, services and users access the network creating a real-time neighborhood watch protection service for those who use it.
  • Conventional Scan—The Convention Scan uses anti-malware and anti-spyware components stored locally.
Note
Note
To use Smart Scan, IWSVA requires continuous connection with Smart Protection Network. If IWSVA fails to connect to Smart Protection Network for three consecutive times, IWSVA automatically switches to Conventional Scan to continue providing the protection. If it automatically switches to Conventional Scan, manually select Smart Scan in Scan Method screen if you still want to use Smart Scan. If switching to Conventional Scan automatically, you should select Smart Scan from Administration > IWSVA Configuration > Scan Method.
