7.2.4. Virus outbreak alerts
Detection of viruses on several workstations simultaneously or within a short
period of time indicates a special type of virus threat – a network virus outbreak
(in other words, we assume that a virus is proliferating throughout your local
network).
This type of virus threat requires prompt actions from the administrator;
therefore, he or she must be immediately notified about the outbreak. For this
purpose, the program provides a special alert function.
To define program actions in response to a virus outbreak, follow these
steps :
1. Select the required server in the network pane.
2. In the server property pane, switch to the Options tab and click the
Virus outbreak button to open the corresponding settings tree.
3. In the settings tree (see Figure 54), define symptoms indicating a
virus outbreak (see subchapter 7.2.4.1 on page 72) and actions to
be taken in this case (see subchapter 7.2.4.2 on page 72).
