ActiveAction identifies virus/malware types and provides suggested actions according to how each type invades a computer system or environment. ActiveAction categorizes malicious code, replication, and payload types as viruses/malware. When PortalProtect detects a virus/malware, it takes the recommended action (clean, quarantine, delete) on the virus/malware type to protect your environment's vulnerable points.
If you are not familiar with scan actions or if you are not sure which scan action is suitable for a certain type of virus/malware, Trend Micro recommends using ActiveAction.
Using ActiveAction provides the following benefits:
Time saving and easy to maintain: ActiveAction uses scan actions recommended by Trend Micro. You do not have to spend time configuring the scan actions.
Updateable scan actions: Virus/malware writers constantly change the way viruses/malware attack computers. Trend Micro updates ActiveAction settings in each new pattern file to protect clients against the latest threats and the latest methods of virus/malware attacks.
