MyAVERT Security Threats
The MyAvert Security Threats page informs you of the top ten medium-to-high-risk threats
for corporate users. You no longer need to manually search for this information from the press
(TV, radio, newspapers), informational web sites, mailing lists, or your peers. You are
automatically notified of these threats from McAfee Avert.
Protection status and risk assessment
You can easily determine whether the DAT and engine files in the Current branch of the master
repository provide protection against the top ten threats and, if not, the highest risk level of
any new threats.
Protection available
The DAT and engine files in the repository already provide protection against all threats that
are known to Avert. To determine whether each managed system is protected run a query
against DAT and engine file coveraget.
Protection pending on Mediium-to-Low Risk Threats
The updated DAT file for threats assessed by AVERT as medium risk is pending. However,
updated protection is available in a supplemental virus definition (EXTRA.DAT) file, which you
can manually download if you need protection before the next full DAT file is available, such
as in an outbreak scenario.
Protection Pending on High-Risk Threats
The updated DAT file for threats assessed by AVERT as high risk is pending. However, updated
protection is available in a supplemental virus definition (EXTRA.DAT) file, which you can
manually download if you need protection before the next full DAT file is available, such as in
an outbreak scenario.
