AMON<br />
Administration <strong>Installation</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
AMON (Access MONitor) is a memory-resident (always running when<br />
computer is on) file scanning program. Automatic starting of AMON after<br />
computer restart is a fundamental defense against malicious code. Quitting<br />
AMON is not recommended and should only be done under special<br />
circumstances. Execution of two different antivirus monitors (from different<br />
products or companies) is not recommended since it may make the client’s<br />
computer slower and/or cause a system crash, especially on Windows NT<br />
systems, and might lead to serious problems.<br />
AMON is the most important line of antivirus defense. AMON monitors all<br />
potentially threatening actions on protected computers such as opening,<br />
executing, creating or renaming files.<br />
It is recommended to leave the default<br />
settings for this module. However, there<br />
may be an instance when a particular file or<br />
program used in your network, needs to be<br />
excluded from scanning. Also, you may have<br />
reason to not want your workstations to scan<br />
network files.<br />
DMON<br />
Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, etc.) can sometimes contain<br />
viruses which infect other files when the document is opened. Document<br />
MONitor (DMON) provides protection against this sort of threat. Later<br />
versions of Internet Explorer allow Microsoft Office documents to be<br />
opened within the browser, directly from the internet. DMON will monitor<br />
these documents and prevent infiltration of a virus should an infected<br />
document be opened. Generally speaking, the default settings should prove<br />
adequate.
