Client_Self-protection
Client self-protection provides ways for the OfficeScan client to protect the processes and other resources required to function properly. Client self-protection helps thwart attempts by programs or actual users to disable anti-malware protection.
This feature does not support installation on server platforms. OfficeScan automatically disables this feature when installed and deployed on server platforms.
To prevent other programs and even the user from modifying or deleting OfficeScan files, OfficeScan locks the following files in the root <Client installation folder>:
