Antivirus Settings for Mac OS Profile

The antivirus section lets you configure real-time monitoring, custom scans, scan schedules, exclusions and more.

Configure antivirus settings in a Mac OS profile

• Click 'Assets' > 'Configuration Templates' > 'Profiles'
  

• Open the Mac OS profile you want to work on
  

• Click the 'Antivirus' tab then 'Edit', if it has already been added to the profile

OR

• Click 'Add Profile Section' > 'Antivirus' if it hasn't yet been added

The antivirus settings screen has two tabs:

• Preferences - Configure general behavior, updates, parental control and log settings
  

• Antivirus - Configure settings for all scan types, create custom scan profiles and schedule AV scans.

Preferences

The preferences tab lets you configure the following settings:

• General
  

• Update
  

• Parental Control
  

• Logging

General

• Show balloon messages - If enabled, notifications from XCS will appear in the bottom-right hand corner of the computer screen - just above the tray icons. Balloon messages are usually generated when XCS is learning the activity of previously unknown components of trusted applications. (Default = Disabled).

Update Settings

The update tab lets you specify an alternate host from which endpoints should collect updates. The default download server is http://download.comodo.com.

• Click 'Preferences' > 'Update'

You can add the URL of an alternative download host if required. For example, you may want to distribute the updates from a local server to conserve bandwidth.

• Click 'Add'

• Enter the URL or IP of the host from which endpoints should collect updates
  

• Select 'Enable' to activate the host
  

• Click 'Ok' to apply your changes
  

• Repeat the process to add multiple hosts.
  

• Click the pencil icon to edit the host

Parental Control Settings

Parental controls let you password protect access to XCS settings. This helps prevent unauthorized personnel from making changes which could compromise the endpoint.

• Click the 'Parental Control' tab under 'Preferences'

• Enable password protection for the settings - Activates password protection for all important XCS settings. End-users will need to provide a password to access the settings area in the local XCS UI.
  

Please type the password in the field provided.

• Suppress Antivirus alerts if password protection is enabled - If selected, threats on the device are automatically blocked but no alert is shown to the end-user. This avoids the situation where a user dangerously clicks 'Allow' just to make an alert go away.

Log Settings

• Click the 'Logging' tab under 'Preferences'

By default, XCS logs all antivirus (AV) events locally on the device.Users can view the logs by clicking 'View Antivirus Events' in the tasks interface.

• Write to local log database (Xcitium format)- Deselect if you don't want XCS to store logs on the local device.

Configure Antivirus Settings

The antivirus tab lets you configure settings for all types of scan, view/create scan profiles, and to schedule scans.

It has three sub-tabs:

• Scanner Settings
  

• Scan Profiles
  

• Scheduled Scans
