By default, malware protection is disabled in the xAgent default policy, which is automatically assigned to all host endpoints in your environment. This means malware detection, quarantine, and remediation are disabled by default. Toggle the Signature and Heuristic Detection ON and OFF switch, the MalwareGuard ON and OFF switch, and the Quarantine switch ON and OFF to enable and disable malware protection completely. See Enabling and Disabling Malware Detection, Managing File Quarantine, and Managing File Remediation for more information.
