The scan action Apex One performs depends on the scan
type that detected the spyware/grayware. While specific actions can be configured
for each
virus/malware type, only one action can be configured for all types of spyware/grayware.
For
example, when Apex One detects any
type of spyware/grayware during Manual Scan (scan type), it cleans (action) the affected
system
resources.
For information on the different types of spyware/grayware, see Spyware and Grayware.
 |
NoteThe spyware/grayware scan actions are configurable through the web
console only. The Security Agent console does not provide access to these settings.
