Configuring process settings
On-access scan processes are configured based on the risk that you assign to each process.
You can configure one default scanning policy for all processes or configure different policies
based on the risk assigned to each process. Parameters include assigning risk to processes,
defining items to scan, performing heuristic scanning, scanning compressed files, taking actions
on detections, and scanning for potentially unwanted programs.
To access the Default Processes, Low-Risk Processes, or High-Risk Processes properties:
• From the ePolicy Orchestrator console, go to Systems | Policy Catalog and select
VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0 in the Product list and On-Access Default Processes
Policies, On-Access Low-Risk Processes Policies, or On-Access High-Risk Processes
Policies in the Category list.
• From the VirusScan Console, open the On-Access Scanner properties, then select Default
Processes, Low-Risk Processes, or High-Risk Processes in the left pane.
Configure the options on each tab. For option descriptions, click ? or Help on each tab.
