Scan computers now
You can scan a computer or computers immediately, without waiting for the next scheduled scan.
If you use role-based administration, you must have the Remediation - updating and scanning right to scan computers. For more information, see Managing roles and sub-estates.
Warning Only Windows, Linux and UNIX computers can perform immediate full
system scans originated from the console.
To scan computers immediately:
Note If the scan detects components of a threat in memory, the scan stops and an alert is sent to
Sophos Enterprise Console. This is because further
scanning could enable the threat to spread. You must clean up the threat before
running the scan again.
