Setting Up ImunifyAV

ImunifyAV regularly scans user files and alerts you if any malware is detected.

To configure ImunifyAV via the control panel:

1. Go to OpenAdmin > Security > ImunifyAV.
2. Click the cog icon to access settings.
3. Adjust the resource limits for scans and set the scan schedule — by default, scans run monthly.
