When to Select ActiveAction
We recommend you select ActiveAction if you are not familiar with virus actions or
if you are unsure of which scan action is the most suitable for a certain virus.
Viruses vary significantly from one another; this requires appropriate virus actions
for each virus type. Customizing scan actions for file viruses requires knowledge of
viruses and can be a tedious task. For this reason, Trend Micro recommends the use
of ActiveAction.
Some advantages of using ActiveAction versus customized scan actions are:
• Time saving: You spend no time customizing virus actions
• Worry-free maintenance: ActiveAction uses Trend Micro recommended
scan actions so you can concentrate on other tasks and not worry about making
mistakes
• Updateable scan actions: Trend Micro includes new ActiveAction scan
actions with every new pattern. Viruses constantly change how they attack,
thus scan actions should be frequently modified to prevent possible infection.
For ActiveAction configuration information, refer to Defining Actions Against
Viruses on page 3-45.
Mapped Network Drive Scan
ServerProtect can scan one or several network drive(s); the shared network folders
have to be mapped first before selecting this feature. This is helpful because
Real-time Scan scans and protects mapped drives as it does with local drives,
therefore reducing the risk of infection. See Configuring Real-time Scan on page
3-49.
