6 On the Blocking tab, configure blocking connections from remote computers that write
files with potential threats or unwanted programs.
NOTE: By default, when a remote system writes any malware to a system with VirusScan
Enterprise, VirusScan Enterprise blocks the connection to that remote system.
You can also configure a message that is sent to the system that has written the malware.
NOTE: To send this message requires Windows Messenger service.
7 On the Messages tab, configure messages to notify local users when detections occur
with a configured message, and specify which actions the user can take against the threat.
8 On the Reports tab, enable the scanning activity log files and define where they are stored,
their size, format, and any additional scan logging to help you diagnose this threat.
NOTE: These log files are very helpful when you diagnose security threats and help
determine which actions to take against these threats.
