5.0 Protecting Against Malware

ZENworks protects Windows 10 devices and Windows 2012 and newer servers by creating and assigning Antimalware policies to those devices via the ZENworks Control Center. These Antimalware policies include the following:

  • Antimalware Enforcement Policy: This policy is required for all devices that you want to protect from malware threats by implementing on-access and ondemand scans. It installs the Antimalware Agent on assigned devices. Once applied, you can also assign any combination of the other three optional policies to the same devices.

  • Antimalware Custom Scan Policy: This policy is designed to customize ondemand scans of local files to target specific malware threats. You can define a schedule for scans or use a quick task to run a scan.

  • Antimalware Network Scan Policy: This policy is designed to scan files on network drives only. One example for using this policy would be to scan a file storage disk in an array of disks. You can define a schedule for scans or use a quick task to run a scan.

  • Antimalware Scan Exclusions Policy: This policy is designed to exclude specific files from malware scans implemented from the other three policies. You can define file exclusions by specific files or folders, file types (extensions), or specific processes.
