It doesn't include email protection but the attachments will be scanned when you save them to disk

Hello,
One more clarification needed, please.
So attachments will be scanned when saved; but will they be scanned when they are directly opened as well? (in case, client don't want to save but directly open them)
Thank you

Hello again,
Ok, I installed panda free on a friend's laptop.
Few more inquiry:
1- Do I need to activate the account so that Panda Free be fully operational?
2- I created a scheduled scan; let's say daily 10am; what if laptop is shutdown at that time? will panda free triggers scan in a different time?
Thank you

Its not necessary to associate it to a Panda Account but recommended. If you don't do it each time you open the interface it will request you to do it

If the laptop is shutdown, the scan will be run at the next scheduled time (following day at the same time for example)
