contain malware as part of the message. For example, automatic startup processes can

contain worms and Trojan threats.

How access threats are stopped

By enabling or changing the configuration of the Access Protection feature you can configure

anti-spyware protection, anti-virus protection, common protection, virtual machine protection,

and define your own rules of protection. Following is the basic process VirusScan Enterprise

uses to provide access protection.

Steps taken when a threat occurs

1 A user or process tries to take an action.

2 That action is examined by Access Protection according to the defined rules.

3 When a rule is broken, the action requested by the user or process is managed using the

information in the rules configured. For example, the action causes nothing to happen, it

is blocked, or it is blocked and a report is sent.

4 The Access Protection log file is updated, and an event is generated for the ePolicy

Orchestrator Global Administrator.

Example of an access threat

1 A user downloads a program, MyProgram.exe, from the Internet.

NOTE: For this example, MyProgram.exe is not malware.

2 The user launches the program and it seems to launch as expected.

3 MyProgram.exe then launches a child process called AnnoyMe.exe and it attempts to modify

the operating system to ensure it always loads on startup.

4 Access Protection processes the request and matches it against an existing rule that is

configured to block and report.

5 AnnoyMe.exe is denied access when it attempts to modify the operating system, Access

Protection logs the details of the attempt, and it generates an alert to the ePolicy

Orchestrator Global Administrator.

Log report and alerts generated

This is an example of an Access Protection log entry.
