The
OfficeScan client periodically
passes the Virus Pattern number and Virus Scan Engine number to
SecureClient for verification. SecureClient then compares these
values with values in the client
local.scv file.
This is what the local.scv file looks like
if you open it in a text editor:
(SCVObject
:SCVNames (
: (OfceSCV
:type (plugin)
:parameters (
:CheckType (OfceVersionCheck)
:LatestPatternVersion (701)
:LatestEngineVersion (7.1)
:PatternCompareOp (">=")
:EngineCompareOp (">=")
)
)
)
:SCVPolicy (
: (OfceSCV)
)
:SCVGlobalParams (
:block_connections_on_unverified (true)
:scv_policy_timeout_hours (24)
)
)
In this example, the SCV check will allow
connections through the firewall if the pattern file version is
701 or later, and the scan engine number is 7.1 or later. If the
scan engine or pattern file is earlier, all connections through
the Check Point firewall get blocked. Modify these values using
the SCV Editor on the local.scv file on the
Policy Server.

Note
Check Point does not automatically update the pattern file
and scan engine version numbers in the SCV file.
Whenever OfficeScan updates the
scan engine or pattern file, you need to manually change the value
of the conditions in the local.scv file to
keep them current. If you do not update the scan engine and pattern
versions, Check Point will authorize traffic from clients with earlier pattern
files or scan engines, creating a potential for new viruses to infiltrate
the system.
