Launching a Rootkit Scan for the Whole Domain

To enable ActiveX protection, select the Prevent all ActiveX from running
check box. ActiveX protection prevents the users' web browsers from
running ActiveX web applications. Some web sites may use ActiveX to
install unwanted software on computers. However, there are also web
pages which the users cannot view without ActiveX.
ActiveX protection can be enabled only when System Control is enabled.
Rootkit scanning can be used to scan for files and drives hidden by
rootkits. Rootkits are typically used to hide malicious software, such as
spyware, from users, system tools and traditional antivirus scanners. The
items hidden by rootkits are often infected with viruses, worms or trojans.
Select Enable rootkit scanning to enable scanning for files and drives
hidden by rootkits. This option also enables users to run local quick scans
for rootkits and other hidden items.
Select Include rootkit scanning in full computer check to scan for items
hidden by rootkits when a full computer check is started from the local
host, or when a manual scanning operation is launched from Policy
Manager Console.
Select Show suspicious items after full computer check to specify that
detected suspicious items are shown in the disinfection wizard and in the
scanning report after a full computer check. When this option is selected,
you can see from the scanning reports whether any items hidden by
rootkits have been detected on the managed hosts.
In this example a rootkit scan is launched for the whole domain.
1. Select Root in the Policy Domains tab.
2. Go to the Settings tab and select the Manual Scanning page.
