Description
This setting configures the amount of time to wait for a scan to complete, in seconds. The default setting is 45 seconds. Typically, file scans are very fast. However, file scans may take longer time due to large file size, file type, or heavy load on the offload scan server. In such cases that the file scan takes longer than the scan timeout limit, the file access is allowed and a scan timeout event is generated. Setting the timeout too low may result in scans of a file terminating before the scan is completed, resulting in malware potentially going undetected.
