Filers list
• Overwrite client filer list — Processes scan requests only for filers defined in the
policy.
• Filers — Use the plus and minus signs to add and remove filers.
These settings apply
to all filers
• Enable 'keep-alive' probes — To make sure that the filer and scanner-server are in
communication.
• Reset filer's clean file cache after each DAT or Engine update — Clears the cache of files
already scanned after the scanner-server sends a DAT or engine update. This
makes all files available for scanning with the latest DAT and engine files.
McAfee recommends that you enable these two options for all filers.
Administrator account

Specify a user account with proper permissions (read, write, and backup) to all
filers. If this option is not selected, you must set up an individual account for
each locally installed VirusScan Enterprise for Storage connection.
