Enabling or disabling AV-Check

Prev Next

Use the CLI commands to enable or disable AV-Check, which provides another type of static analysis on the File Protect appliance. AV-Check allows the File Protect appliance to use antivirus tools, such as Sophos and ClamWin, to scan malware samples. After you have configured AV-Check using the CLI, you can view the analysis of the results on the  > Alerts page in the Web UI.

After AV-Check is enabled, no other configuration is required.

Prerequisites

  • Administrator or Operator access to the File Protect appliance

  • An AV_ENGINE_SOPHOS license
