2. Verify that the Disable Alerting checkbox is clear. This activates the
remaining options in this dialog box.
Select this checkbox only if you want the Alert Manager Client
Configuration utility not to pass alert messages from your anti-virus
software to the Alert Manager server or to your Desktop Management
Interface (DMI) administrative software. By default, this checkbox is
clear. Dr Solomon’s Software recommends that you leave it clear so that
the client sends alert messages out.
 NOTE: If you use Network Associates ePolicy Orchestrator
software in your network environment, Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus
will still send alert messages to the ePolicy Orchestrator reporting
component whether you activate or disable alerting here.
