HiHi,

  • If Continuous Scan is enabled, any incomplete scan will resume in the next cycle until completion, ensuring all relevant files are scanned.


  • If Continuous Scan is disabled, a new scan will start each time. In large file systems, certain files may not be scanned within the specified duration.



The screenshot below is from the Sangfor Athena EPP V6.0.4R4 User Manual_20250801, detailing the "Continuous Scan" description:

When you go to Policy > Scheduled Scan, you normally see options like:

  • Quick Scan / Full Scan

  • Scheduled Time / Weekly / Monthly

  • Continuous Scan


How Continuous Scan Works

  • Not time-based - Unlike scheduled daily/weekly scans, continuous scan means the endpoint is continuously monitored beyond the scheduled slot.

  • Always-On Behavior:

      The agent performs real-time background scanning of files, memory, and processes.
      Any new or modified file is scanned immediately.
      Suspicious behavior (like malicious scripts, ransomware activity, abnormal process injection) is intercepted live.

  • Scheduled Page Purpose - Even though it’s under “scheduled scans,” enabling continuous scan means the system treats scanning as ongoing, rather than limited to a particular schedule.

  • Resource Usage - Sangfor optimizes continuous scanning so it runs with low priority, minimizing CPU/RAM impact while ensuring threats are detected instantly.

ok lets just say in this situation,
We setup to do weekly schedule full scan on Thursday and one of the week, the device is off for whole day that Thursday. Will this continuous scan initiate scan on the next time device is turn on? or it will need to go through next Thursday to initiate the full scan?
