Light Mode
MetaDefender Drive introduced a running mode that will help aged machines which have low hardware specifications can be boot from and analysed.
More specific, booting MetaDefender Drive from a machine that has 4GB of memory or less, the user will see these screens suggesting Light Mode.
As being suggested, choosing Drive OS Light mode, only the selected AntiVirus engine will be included during the entire scanning process.
Other AntiVirus engines and utilities (Vulnerability Analysis, Data Leak Prevention, and Country of Origin Audit) will not be triggered from the scanning process and reports.
And this notice is ignorable, click Yes will proceed with scanning.
Please note that when running in LightMode, all of Settings Preferences are locked and not changeable.
All of configured integrations like OPSWAT Central Management and MetaDefender Vault are preserved but not changeable. So, in LightMode, your MetaDefender Drive is still managed and you are still able to transfer your clean files to Vault and/or external USB stick.
However, MetaDefender Drive activation is not eligible during the Light Mode, which means the user should activate MetaDefender Drive when booting it from an affordable machine that has more than 4GB of memory in order to activate it.
