activeaction
ActiveAction identifies virus/malware types and recommends actions based on how each type invades a computer system or environment. ActiveAction categorizes malicious code, replication, and payload types as viruses/malware. When ScanMail detects a virus/malware, it takes the recommended action (clean, quarantine message part, delete entire message) 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.
Updatable 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.
