Denying Write Access to Files and Folders

• Networked Computers > Outbreak Prevention > Start Outbreak Prevention > Deny write access to files and folders

Viruses/Malware can modify or delete files and folders on the host computers. You can configure OfficeScan to prevent viruses/malware from modifying or deleting files and folders on client computers during an outbreak.

To deny write access to files and folders:

1. Type the directory path. When you finish typing the directory path you want to protect, click Add.

2. Note: Make sure you type the absolute path, not the virtual path, for the directory.

2. Specify the files to protect in the protected directories. You can select all files or files based on specific file extensions. For file extensions, you can specify an extension that is not in the list, type it in the text box, and then click Add.

3. To protect specific files, under Files to Protect, type the full file name and click Add.

4. Click Save. The Outbreak Prevention Settings screen displays again.
