McAfee DR SOLOMON S ANTI-VIRUS 8.5 User Manual page 308

Using Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Utilities
This tells each Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus component to send an alert event to
the Alert Manager client utility each time it detects a virus or malicious object.
The client utility, in turn, passes the alert message to the Alert Manager server
you designate. If you do not set your software to generate alert messages in the
first place, the client utility will have nothing to pass to the Alert Manager
server for distribution.
To start and configure the Alert Manager utility, follow these steps:
1. Click Start in the Windows taskbar, point to Programs, then to Network
2. Verify that the Disable Alerting checkbox is clear. This activates the
308 Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
Associates. Next, choose Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Alerting
Configuration.
The Alert Manager Client Configuration page appears
2
Figure 9-3. Alert Manager Client Configuration dialog box
remaining options in this dialog box.
Select this checkbox only if you want the Alert Manager Client
Configuration utility not to pass alert messages from your anti-virus
software to the Alert Manager server or to your Desktop Management
Interface (DMI) administrative software. By default, this checkbox is
clear. Dr Solomon's Software recommends that you leave it clear so that
the client sends alert messages out.
NOTE: If you use Network Associates ePolicy Orchestrator
software in your network environment, Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
will still send alert messages to the ePolicy Orchestrator reporting
component whether you activate or disable alerting here.
