Outbreak Alert enables you to configure settings to alert administrators when:
Viruses detected reach a selected number within a selected time span
Uncleanable viruses reach a selected number within a selected time span
Blocked files reach a selected number within a selected time span
On the left menu, click Alerts > Outbreak Alert. The Outbreak Alert screen appears.
In the Number field, type a number that equals the number of Detected Viruses, Uncleanable Viruses, and Blocked Files that will trigger the alert. Then, type a value in the Time field, and choose whether that value should be expressed in Hours or Minutes.
An Outbreak Alert will be triggered when the Number is reached within the specified time span. For example: for viruses detected, a value of 25 in the Number field with a Time of 24-hours, will trigger an Outbreak Alert if 25 or more viruses are detected within a 24-hour period.
Configure the following options:
Select, Virus detected reach the following number within the shown time: [number] [time value] [hours/minutes]
Select, Uncleanable viruses reach the following number within the shown time: [number] [time value] [hours/minutes]
Select, Blocked files reach the following number within the shown time: [number] [time value] [hours/minutes]
Select the checkbox to enable an alert, and clear the checkbox to disable it.
Click Save.
