Scheduled malware scans

Coro enables you to schedule automatic malware scans on Linux, macOS, and Windows endpoint devices. Scans run at a set frequency and time, providing an added layer of protection alongside Coro's real-time detection.

If a device is offline during a scheduled scan, Coro automatically starts the scan when the device reconnects to Coro.
