Vulnerability Scanner can check for the
presence of security software on the target clients.

Vulnerability Scanner uses the default ports displayed on

changed the default ports, make the necessary changes or Vulnerability Scanner
will not detect the software.

settings by clicking Settings.

Description Retrieval Settings
|
When Vulnerability Scanner is able to "ping"
clients, it can retrieve additional information about the clients.
There are two methods for retrieving information:
|
Alert Settings
|
To automatically send the Vulnerability
Scan results to yourself or to other administrators in your organization:
- Select Email results to the system administrator.
- Click Configure to specify email settings.
- In To, type the email address of the
recipient.
- In From, type the email address of the
sender.
- In SMTP server, type the SMTP server
address.
For example, type smtp.company.com.
The SMTP server information is required.
- In Subject, type a new subject for the
message or accept the default subject.
- Click OK.

that their computers do not have security software installed:
- Select Display a notification on unprotected computers.
- Click Customize to configure the notification
message.
- In the Notification Message screen, type
a new message or accept the default message.
- Click OK.
|
Save as CSV File
|
Save the vulnerability scan results to a
comma-separated value (CSV) file.
The file will be saved on
the client where Vulnerability Scanner was launched. Accept the
default file path or change it according to your preference.
|
Ping Settings
|
Use "ping" settings to validate
the existence of a client and determine its operating system. If
these settings are disabled, Vulnerability Scanner scans all the
IP addresses in the specified IP address range – even those that
are not used on any client – thereby making the scanning attempt
longer than it should be.
- In the Packet size and Timeout fields,
accept or modify the default values.
- Select Detect the type of operating system using
ICMP OS fingerprinting.
If you select this option,
Vulnerability Scanner determines if a client runs Windows or another
operating system. For clients running Windows, Vulnerability Scanner
can identify the version of Windows.
