About antivirus conditions

In a custom requirement, you can specify virus protection applications and signature file information to check as part of your IF-THEN condition statement.

You can check for the following conditions:

  • Virus protection is installed

  • Virus protection is running

  • Virus protection signature file is up to date

When you check applications and signature files as part of a custom requirement, you specify the same information as when you create a predefined requirement. The option names may differ slightly.

If you select Any Antivirus Product, any of the applications in the drop-down list meet the requirement. You can include a subset of applications by selecting each by using the OR keyword.

When you specify the signature file information, you can select one or both options for checking that the signature file is up to date. If you select both, the following conditions must be satisfied to meet the requirement:

  • Select Check signature file is less than and enter a number of days.

    A file that is dated before the number of days you specify is out of date.

  • Select Check signature file date is and select before, after, equal to, or not equal to, and specify a date in the form "mm/dd/yyyy." Optionally, specify an hour and minute; the default is 00:00. The file's last modified date determines the signature file age.
