5.007 - An approved, up-to-date, DoD antivirus program must be installed and used.

Information

Antivirus programs are a primary line of defense against the introduction of viruses and malicious code that can destroy data and even render a computer inoperable. Utilizing an antivirus program provides the ability to detect malicious code before extensive damage occurs. Updated virus scan data files help to protect a system, since new malware are identified by the software vendors on a continual basis.

Solution

Install McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 or later on the system. Update the signature file at least every 7 days.
