Can I import settings while a file is being scanned?
This article applies to all MetaDefender Core releases deployed on Windows and Linux systems.
Answer:
Yes, you can import settings while a file is being scanned. The file will be processed using the configuration that was active at the time of submission for scanning. Therefore, even if a new configuration is imported during the process, the scan will still utilize the previous settings rather than the newly imported configuration.
Additional Information
The scanning process is not interrupted by importing new settings.
The imported configuration will be applied to subsequent scans, but ongoing scans will continue with the previous configuration.
To ensure the new settings are used, wait until the current scan completes before submitting a new file.
