CHAPTER 5 161
5.1 Overview: What can Virus and Spyware
Protection be Used for?
The Virus and Spyware Protection in F-Secure Client Security consists of
Automatic Updates, Manual Scanning, Scheduled Scanning, Real-Time
Scanning, Spyware Scanning, System Control, Rootkit Scanning, E-Mail
Scanning, Web Traffic Scanning, Outbreak Management and the Virus
News service. This chapter contains general configuration instructions
and some configuration examples for each of them (except for the Virus
News service and Manual Scanning, which is discussed in “
Manual
Scanning ” , 78 ), as well as instructions on how to configure alert
forwarding and how to test the virus protection.
Scheduled Scanning is an advanced feature, and it is discussed in
“
Adding a Scheduled Scan from a Local Host ” , 236 and “ Configuring
Scheduled Scanning ” , 258 .
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. The 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 the Policy
Manager Console.
