solution for network users who do not have time to regularly scan
their computers for viruses, and for network administrators who are
assured that their networks remain protected against virus attacks.
■
Symantec Central Quarantine for virus-infected files: This benefit
provides an automated response to heuristically detected new or
unrecognized viruses. Copies of infected items are forwarded
automatically from the Quarantine on the client computer to the
Central Quarantine. Either Internet-based or Email-based Scan and
Deliver transports the infected items from the Central Quarantine to
Symantec Security Response, which develops and returns updated
virus definitions.
The Internet-based method provides a fully automated, closed-loop
virus submission and definitions delivery system; new virus definitions
are produced and returned for immediate deployment to the infected
computer or the whole organization without IT intervention.
Additionally, realtime status of virus submissions to Symantec and
definitions deployment to infected endpoints is available from the
Central Quarantine console.
■
Convenient update options for networked computers: These options
save time and effort for both network administrators and network
users. Virus definitions files should be updated frequently to ensure
that every computer has current virus protection. As part of a network
installation, computers attached to a Norton AntiVirus server receive
updates seamlessly if the administrator has selected the Virus
Definition Transport Method to update computers.
