[Imunify360](/knowledgebase/security-imunify/an-introduction-to-imunify360) runs automatically on Kualo servers, scanning for malware and blocking attacks in the background. You do not need to set anything up - but cPanel gives you a window into what it is doing, so you can check your account's security at any time.

## Open Imunify360

Log in to cPanel and, in the **Security** section, click **Imunify360** (it may also appear as **ImunifyAV** - both open the same tool).

It opens on the **Malware Scanner**, with the app's two main areas along the top: **Malware Scanner** and **Proactive Defense**.

## Malware Scanner

The Malware Scanner has three tabs:

- **Malicious** - any malware Imunify360 has found on your account. On a clean account this shows **No result found** - exactly what you want to see.
- **Scan** - a history of the automatic scans Imunify360 has run, showing when each one ran, how many files it checked, and the result. A green **Real-time scanner is ON** badge confirms that new files are checked as they are written.

- **History** - a fuller log of past scan activity.

Because scanning is automatic and real-time, there is nothing for you to start - Imunify360 is always working in the background.

## Proactive Defense

**Proactive Defense** watches for PHP-based attacks and can stop a malicious script the moment it runs.

The **Detected Events** tab lists anything it has acted on (again, **No result found** on a healthy account). The protection settings shown here are managed for you by our team, so they are for information only.

## What if malware is found?

If Imunify360 detects malware, it quarantines the affected files automatically and, where possible, cleans injected code to restore the original file. If you ever see a detection you are unsure about, [open a support ticket](/knowledgebase/getting-started/how-to-create-a-support-ticket-in-mykualo) and our team will help.
