You should still run a scheduled scan sometimes things are missed in between dat file updates, if you run the scan late at night there should be minimal impact.

Subject: Do we still need scheduled scan?

If we have already implemented virus scan at the gateway, on the mail
server, on individual servers, and real time scan on workstations/laptops,
do we still need scheduled, e.g., weekly, scan on workstations and laptops
as well as servers?

Schdeuled scans really slow down some machines.

Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

Doug
