New MAV Configuration Settings: Network File Scanning and Archive File Scanning
You can now turn Network File Scanning and Archive File Scanning on or off for Microsoft Defender in Managed Antivirus. These were previously fixed to Huntress defaults. Defaults are unchanged, so nothing changes on your endpoints unless you change it.
- Network File Scanning stays off by default. Scanning mapped network drives can slow things down when many endpoints hit the same share.
- Archive File Scanning stays on by default. It catches malware inside ZIPs, RARs, and similar files.
Find both in EDR → Managed Antivirus → Defender Configuration → Scans, alongside your other scan settings.
