About the default Virus and Spyware Protection policy scan settings
Which IP address of the Symantec Security Response server receives the
submission
If the SCD file becomes out-of-date, then clients stop sending submissions.
Symantec considers the SCD file out-of-date when a client computer has not
retrieved LiveUpdate content in 7 days. The client stop sending submissions after
14 days.
If clients stop the transmission of the submissions, the client software does not
collect the submission information and send it later. When clients start to transmit
submissions again, they only send the information about the events that occur
after the transmission restart.
Administrators can also configure the percentage of computers that are allowed
to submit. Each client computer determines whether or not it should submit
information. The client computer randomly selects a number from 1 to 100. If the
number is less than or equal to the percentage that is set in that computer's policy,
then the computer submits information. If the number is greater than the
configured percentage, the computer does not submit information.
Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager includes three default policies.
Virus and Spyware Protection Balanced policy
Virus and Spyware Protection High Security policy
The High Security policy is the most stringent of all the preconfigured policies.
You should be aware that it can affect the performance of other applications.
Virus and Spyware Protection High Performance policy
The High Performance policy provides better performance than the High
Security policy, but it does not provide the same safeguards. The policy relies
primarily on Auto-Protect to scan files with selected file extensions to detect
threats.
The basic Virus and Spyware Protection policy provides a good balance between
security and performance.
