Enable Assessment Mode
When in assessment mode, all clients managed by the server will log spyware/grayware
detected during Manual Scan, Scheduled Scan, Real-time Scan, and Scan Now but will
not clean spyware/grayware components. Cleaning terminates processes or deletes
registries, files, cookies, and shortcuts.
Trend Micro provides assessment mode to allow you to evaluate items that Trend Micro
detects as spyware/grayware and then take appropriate action based on your evaluation.
For example, detected spyware/grayware that you do not consider a security risk can be
added to the spyware/grayware approved list.
When in assessment mode, OfficeScan performs the following scan actions:
• Pass: During Manual Scan, Scheduled Scan and Scan Now
• Deny Access: During Real-time Scan
Note: Assessment mode overrides any user-configured scan action. For example, even if you
choose "Clean" as the scan action during Manual Scan, "Pass" remains as the scan
action when the client is on assessment mode.
Scan for Cookies
Select this option if you consider cookies as potential security risks. When selected, all
clients managed by the server will scan cookies for spyware/grayware during Manual
Scan, Scheduled Scan, Real-time Scan, and Scan Now.
Scheduled Scan Settings
Only clients set to run Scheduled Scan will use the following settings. Scheduled Scan
can scan for virus/malware and spyware/grayware.
Remind Users of the Scheduled Scan __ Minutes Before it Runs
OfficeScan displays a notification message minutes before scanning runs to remind
users of the scan schedule (date and time) and any Scheduled Scan privilege you grant
them.
