Real-Time Scan Direction should cover both directions
Why This Matters
If real-time scanning is configured to monitor only incoming files, malicious content entering from an outbound direction could remain undetected. Bidirectional scanning ensures complete protection against malware that attempts to spread through file transfers in either direction. This setting is critical for environments where users frequently share or receive files.
