On-Access scanning options

We are about to move to on-access scanning in 2 weeks. The powers that be have a concern that if a file is infected it may be deleted as a method of "cleaning" it. They want to leave the file where it is and to deny access, even if it's infected.

I have tested with the following settings: scanning set to enable on-acces scanning for this computer - check files on read, rename and write.

When I tested with the eicar test file, it was deleted whether or not I set the clean-up to clean automattically (and to do the deny access only option) or not. I am trying to avoid the deletion of files.

Has anyone successfully setup on-access scanning to not delete any files, even if it's infected? I know that this can be done with scheduled scans because we are currently doing it.

Thanks!

  • I just tested this.

    Open 'Configure' | 'Anti-Virus' | 'On-access scaning' | 'Cleanup' tab.  If I uncheck...

    ...then the file remains in place (the quarantine manager reports the detection, you're denied access to the file, but the file isn't deleted).
