Endpoint Protection

This might be a dumb question but,

is it possible to run a scan using search 'criteria' on all or individual machines specifying "risk name"  through Symantec System Center Console?

For instance, assuming there is a high risk Trojan out there can we tell the antivirus to search for that Trojan only?

 NO thats not possible.

AV has a table containing def signatures and when it scans it compares the file with its whole list.

So you cannot tell AV to compare the hash of the file with only trojan sigs.

Hi Michael,

I think the scan will not look for a particular threat. It will be scanning the files for all the virus definitions available for reference.

I Don't think that this is possible to achieve it. You cant tell/order/configure SAV to scan  a particular file type or threat

Thank you everyone for the answers...that was my initial thought on the question as well, but just thought to double-check.

Cheers!
