To protect your computer from potentially unwanted programs you must
configure categories of unwanted programs to detect in your environment.
Configuration is a two-step process:
- Configure the
Unwanted Programs Policy to define which
potentially unwanted programs to detect and exclude:
- Select whole
categories of programs or specific programs within a category from a predefined
list which comes from the current DAT file.
- Specify exclusions.
- Create a list of
user-defined programs to detect.
-
Enable unwanted program detection in the on-access, email, and
on-demand scanners, then configure which actions to take when an unwanted
program is detected.
Note: Detecting unwanted programs is enabled for the on-demand scanner
differently because the on-demand scan is a task not a policy. See
Configuring on-demand scan tasks for details.
