Understanding the Icons

This machine is blocked and cannot access the network. To have the machine reconnect to the network, provide the URL for the Manual Assessment page. The machine can access this page where the user can initiate a manual vulnerability assessment after he or she has resolved the security risk.

The default URL for the Manual Assessment page is:

http://CM Server/ControlManager/cgi-bin/va/CGIvax.exe

Where "CM Server" is the name of the name of the Control Manager Server where Vulnerability Assessment is installed.

Vulnerability Assessment has marked this machine for blocking, but it has not been blocked yet.

If you have installed Network VirusWall on your server, it will shortly block this machine.  Network VirusWall queries Vulnerability Assessment on a regular basis. The frequency is configurable through Network VirusWall, but it can be as frequent as every 30 seconds (this is the default for computers that are not in compliance with Network VirusWall policies). It blocks and releases computers based on the query information.

When viewing the results of a task, this icon appears briefly until the blocked icon replaces it when Network VirusWall blocks the machine. However, when you query the database, the flag icon is always displayed, showing the status of the machine immediately following the assessment task (not yet blocked).

Vulnerability Assessment has assessed this machine. The computer is not blocked, based on the enforcement action you set. However, it could have vulnerabilities that present a significant risk to the network.

This icon displays when you have manually released a machine, but it has not been released yet. When you manually release a machine you request Network VirusWall to stop blocking it. The next time that Network VirusWall queries Vulnerability Assessment, it will release the machine.

This icon indicates that this task has Damage Cleanup Services enabled. When the Vulnerability Assessment task runs, the Damage Cleanup Services task runs at the same time.
