Using Vulnerability Scanner
Use Vulnerability Scanner to detect installed antivirus solutions, search for unprotected
computers on the network, and install OfficeScan™ clients to computers. To determine
if computers are protected, Vulnerability Scanner pings ports normally used by antivirus
solutions.
Vulnerability Scanner Functions
Vulnerability Scanner performs the following functions:
• Monitor the network for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) requests
so that when computers first log on to the network, Vulnerability Scanner can
determine their status.
• Ping computers on the network to check their status and retrieve their computer
names, platform versions, and descriptions.
• Determine the antivirus solutions installed on the network. Vulnerability scanner
can detect Trend Micro™ products and third-party antivirus solutions (including
Norton AntiVirus™ Corporate Edition and McAfee™ VirusScan™ ePolicy
Orchestrator™).
• Send scan results through email or export results to a comma-separated value (CSV)
file.
