ESET File Security Installation Manual and User Guide

Click the checkbox to enable/disable a scheduled task. By default, the following scheduled tasks are displayed:
Log maintenance – The program automatically deletes older logs in order to save hard disk space. The Scheduler will start
defragmenting logs. All empty log entries will be removed during this process. This will improve the speed when working with
logs. The improvement will be more noticeable if the logs contain a large number of entries.
Automatic startup file check – Scans memory and running services after a successful update of the virus signature database.
Regular automatic update – Regularly updating ESET File Security is the best method of keeping the maximum level of security on
your computer. See ESETS update utility for more information.
Regular update of AntiSpam modules – The period after which ESETS will check for available antispam module updates. If you do
not set this scheduled task, ESETS will not regularly update its antispam database.
Note: For this option to be available you must have a valid license for ESET Mail Security.
Threat notification – By default, each threat will be logged into syslog. In addition, ESETS can be configured to run an external
(notification) script to notify a system administrator via email about threat detection.
License expiration – If enabled, this functionality will notify you 30 days prior to your license expiration. This task will run the
@ETCDIR@/scripts/license_warning_script shell script, which sends an email to the email address of the root user account. The
script can be customized to reflect specific server needs.
