The CA Antivirus software is preinstalled on all GuardianOS SnapServers. By default, the
software is enabled on most SnapServers, but no scan jobs or signature updates have been
scheduled. (The server will, however, check for signature updates whenever the server
boots.) These and other antivirus configuration and management tasks are performed using
the CA Antivirus GUI, accessed from the SnapExtensions > CA Antivirus page of the Web
Management Interface. This section outlines the major steps in configuring the antivirus
software. See the GUI online help for detailed descriptions of all options.
