From your GFI MAX Dashboard, you can:

• Enable Managed Antivirus on individual servers and workstations or on all servers and workstations at a client or site.
• Configure every aspect of the Managed Antivirus agent including scan schedules, remediation action (i.e. what to do if a threat is discovered) and file and folder exclusions.
• Save this as a protection policy for use on similar types of device at other clients and sites.
• Receive alerts if a threat is quarantined and choose to delete or release from quarantine.
• Start, pause, resume and cancel scans – all from the Dashboard!
• View reports that demonstrate the service you’re providing.

How it works

Designate a site concentrator

If required, you can designate a Site Concentrator and it will download and cache both the initial Antivirus pattern definition as well as the incremental difference updates for use by other Agents at the site. These other Agents, then download them from the Site Concentrator, ensuring that each file is downloaded only once, reducing external network traffic.

Enable Managed Antivirus and select policies

Once enabled you must select which Protection Policy is to be applied to the different server or workstation at that client or site.

Fine tune protection policies

The Protection Policy configures every aspect of the Managed Antivirus agent including scan schedules, remediation action (i.e. what to do if a threat is discovered) and file and folder exclusions. Default policies are supplied for Laptops, Desktops, different versions of Small Business Server, Exchange Servers, SQL Servers and generic servers, all of which follow Microsoft’s own recommendations for file and folder exclusions.

Run scans and view results

Quick and Deep scans will run automatically according to schedule specified in the Protection Policy for that device. However, they can also be started, paused, resumed and cancelled from the Dashboard.

Manage quarantine

When traces of a threat are discovered during a Quick scan, Deep scan or Active Protection event, the remediation action specified for that category and sub-category of threat is taken automatically.
