The Main Interface
The CCS interface is designed to be as clean and informative as possible while letting you carry out tasks with the minimum of fuss.
System Status
- The shield icon on the left of the interface is a high visibility indicator of your current protection level. There are four CCS indicators: yellow, green, red and blue
- Yellow – There are actions you need to take. For example, because you need to run a full scan or because the real-time scanner is switched off.
- Green - All systems are active and running.
- Red - Serious security risks. For example, when the Xcitium Enterprise agent is not running or a CCS setting is corrupted.
- Blue - Silent mode is active. Alerts are temporarily disabled.
The tabs along the top of the screen let you configure different aspects of CCS:
The Summary tab contains two areas:
- Antivirus Summary
- Drop Files to Scan
