About the Agent

Network VirusWall Enforcer uses the Threat Management Agent (TMAgent) to perform certain policy enforcement tasks, including:

Checking for installed antivirus software
Checking the version of the virus pattern file
Scanning for threats, including malware responsible for ARP spoofing
Checking for unpatched vulnerabilities
Checking for missing or prohibited registry entries
Displaying popup notifications
Checking for use of prohibited protocols and instant messengers and prohibited file transfers
Cleanup of infected systems

When creating a policy, you can define how the agent is deployed. Your choice of deployment method affects the enforcement criteria you can specify on that policy.
