* In this version, this function only for on-demand scans and email scanning and is disabled by default. You must select a sensitivity level to enable the function.

- Performance improvements
* New scan deferral options improve local control of on-demand scans, including the ability to defer scans when battery power or during presentations. An option can be configured to enable end users to move on scheduled flights on-demand scans for the increase in the time that you specify. You can specify hourly increments up to twenty-four hours, or forever.
