Outbreak Protection

An outbreak occurs when incidents of virus/malware or spyware/grayware detections over a particular period of time exceed a certain threshold. There are several ways to respond to and contain outbreaks in the network, including:

• Enabling OfficeScan to monitor the network for suspicious activity

• Blocking critical client computer ports and folders

• Sending outbreak alert messages to clients

• Cleaning up infected computers
