Testing your antivirus protection
Virus and spyware protection keeps computers protected against file
viruses, spyware, riskware, rootkits and viruses that are spreading by
e-mail attachments and in web traffic.
Automatic updates guarantee that virus and spyware protection is always
up-to-date. Once you have set up virus and spyware protection and the
automatic updates by distributing the settings in a security policy, you
can be sure that the managed network is protected. You can also monitor
the scanning results and other information the managed hosts send back
to Policy Manager Console.
When a virus is found on a computer, one of the following actions will
be taken:
• the infected file is disinfected,
• the infected file is renamed,
• the infected file is deleted,
• the infected file is quarantined,
• the user is prompted to decide what action to take with the infected
file,
• the infected file or attachment (in e-mail scanning) is reported only,
or
• the infected attachment (in e-mail scanning) is either disinfected,
removed or blocked.
