  • 1.  instant notification of virus infection

    Posted Aug 10, 2009 06:31 PM
    I've been looking through manuals, google, and on my server itself, but I'm unable to find this option. I'm wondering if it's even available. What I want is an email to be sent to specific account whenever an virus infection is detected on the workstation. I'm looking for notification as it's discovered on the client rather then the next time I get a report about infected computers.

    I don't have the resources to constantly manage my server, and while I can do a report that run every hour telling about infected computers, I rather just have reports of specific computers as they get infected as a virus can do alot of damage in an hour.

    Please advise if such an option is available.

    Thanks.

    You need to setup notifications.
    Monitors > Notifications tab > Notifications conditions.

    When you will get an email depends on if you have pull mode or push mode enabled.
    In pull mode, it will depend on how often your hearbeat interval is set to.
