If the scan finds a virus, the user can be notified in two ways:

134

• The message “Virus alert I34” is normally shown on the LCD panel. Once the virus is removed from the quarantine folder, the message is no longer displayed. If the antivirus software is configured to delete viruses from the quarantine folder automatically, then “Virus alert I34” will not be displayed.

• If email notification is enabled In Settings, then the antivirus software notifies the user by email if a virus is found.

Setting email notification is recommended.

Depending on how many files are on your TeraStation, a virus scan may take several hours. Estimated scanning times are shown below.

• 10,000 files: ~ 30 minutes
