DTAM106 - McAfee VirusScan On-Access Default Processes Policies must be configured to scan inside archives.

Information

Malware is often packaged within an archive. In addition, archives might have other archives within. Not scanning archive files introduces the risk of infected files being introduced into the environment.

Solution

From the ePO server console System Tree, select the Systems tab, select the asset to be checked, select Actions, select Agent, and select Modify Policies on a Single System. From the product pull down list, select VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.0. Select from the Policy column the policy associated with the On-Access Default Processes Policies. Under the Scan Items tab, locate the 'Compressed files:' label. Select the 'Scan inside archives (e.g. .ZIP)' option. Select Save.
