Specifying the location of the host connection items
By default, the Host Assessment Tool looks for the host connection items (.bhf
files) in the pcAnywhere data directory. If you moved the host connection items
to another directory, you must specify the new location before running a scan.
To specify the location of the host connection items
1
In the Symantec pcAnywhere window, in Advanced View, on the left
navigation bar, click pcAnywhere Tools.
2
In the right pane, under Application, double-click Host Assessment Tool.
3
In the Host Assessment Tool window, click Browse.
4
Select the folder name that contains the host connection items.
5 Click OK.
Analyzing scan results
After you run the Host Assessment Tool, the security settings that were checked
are listed in the Scan Results box. Beside each item is an indicator, which helps
you identify areas for improvement, as well as areas that are more secure.
Table 9-1 explains what each indicator means.

Red triangle
Spotlights a security feature that is not in use, but that is worth
considering. This indicator is intended to increase awareness.
Some features might not be appropriate for your environment.
Yellow diamond
Signifies that a security setting is enabled. Green circle
The color-coded indicators provide a visual cue about whether you are taking
advantage of the security features in pcAnywhere. As you review the results, be
aware that having more of one indicator than another does not necessarily mean
that the host configuration is secure or not secure.
Some security settings might not be appropriate for your environment. For
example, the Host Assessment Tool checks for caller accounts that have superuser
rights, and if found, identifies the caller with a red indicator. In most cases, you
should limit the level of access that a remote user has to your computer. However,
