The EnServe will
periodically scan the shared folders
on its hard drive for viruses. It cannot scan individual computers on
your network though. For that you should buy a reputable anti-virus
solution for each computer on your network. Although the option for
hourly virus scans is available it is not recommended. Scanning hard-drives
for viruses depends on the amount of data that is stored on the hard
drive and can take a long time.
Manually Scanning a folder or disk.
You can use the admin login to
scan either the whole disk or specific folders.

The scan will be limited to the users home directories. (/h/home)

Only scan incomming mail folders - use this option with caution - if

will not need to use this option on a regular basis - all mail will be
scanned on arrival automatically. (/usr/spool/mail)

Scan just the web server documents (/u/www)
- Other Location

This option will allow you to navigate to any location on the server and scan just that location.
