1.2 About Antimalware Policies

ZENworks Endpoint Security Antimalware includes four policies: Antimalware Enforcement, Custom Scan, Network Scan, and Scan Exclusions. The Antimalware Enforcement Policy is the base policy required to install the Antimalware Agent and enforce settings configured for any of the four policies. It provides comprehensive protection from malware threats with regularly scheduled scans. The Custom Scan and Network Scan policies provide targeted scans for specific threats. The Scan Exclusions policy enables you to exclude specific types of files from scheduled scans.

This guide helps you manage the Antimalware policies and applicable configurations required for malware signature updates and other content management related to employment of the Antimalware Agent.
