Scanning items on-access

The on-access scanner examines files on your computer as they are accessed, which provides
continuous, real-time detection of threats. Both the Access Protection and Buffer Overflow
Protection features also use the on-access scanner to detect access violations and buffer overflow
exploits respectively.

On-access scanning and how it works

The on-access scanner hooks into the system at the lowest levels (File-System Filter Driver), it
scans files where they first enter your system. The on-access scanner acts as part of the system
(System Service), and delivers notifications via the interface when detections occur.
When an attempt is made to open, close, or rename a file, the scanner intercepts the operation
and takes these actions.
1 The scanner determines if the file should be scanned based on this criteria:
The file’s extension matches the configuration.
The file has not been cached.
The file has not been excluded.
The file has not been previously scanned.
