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 a scan detects a virus or malware threat, it takes the recommended action on the virus/malware type to protect the environment's vulnerable points.
