Some people may view this as a chain of separate steps, but other people may view these terms as all meaning the same thing (access = scan = threat detection). If something can be scanned, then ESET's software will detect threats in it. It seems the terms 'scanning,' 'accessing,' and 'detecting threats' were being used by multiple forum members, all of whom are from different parts of the world and may all speak English a little differently from each other.įrom ESET's point of view, if you can access something, it can be scanned. I just saw and read through the new posts since my last reply, and having read through everything at once I wanted to clarify something I observed.
