Best Know Methods for LANDesk Anti-Virus and Spyware

Antivirus Settings – General tab continued
LANDesk Software Confidential
Enable right-click scanning: Provides an option on the LANDesk
Antivirus client that allows end users to select a file, group of files,
folder, or group of folders, and right click the selection to perform an
antivirus scan.
Scan for risky software in addition to viruses (extended database):
Provides an option on the LANDesk Antivirus client that allows end users
to scan for riskware (i.e., spyware, FTP, IRC, remote control utilities,
etc.) using an extended database that is loaded on the managed device.
Allow user to add files and folders to Trusted Items list: Provides an
option on the LANDesk Antivirus client that lets users identify files and
folders they don't want scanned for viruses. Files and folders in this list
are ignored by an antivirus scan. Users should be made aware that they
should move only safe files to their trusted items list.
CPU utilization when scanning: Lets you control CPU usage on target
machines when LANDesk Antivirus runs an antivirus scan. This setting
will actually have less effect on CPU usage than overall I/O on the
computer. You will feel a difference between having this set on low and
this set on high, however the cpu usage will only change very minimally.
It will take nearly twice as long to scan a system at the low setting vs. the
high setting.
