Spyware/Grayware Action

About this task

CPM performs the specified action for all types of spyware/grayware. Because spyware/grayware does not "infect" files, there are only three possible actions:

Procedure

  • Clean: Recommended. CPM terminates processes or deletes registries, files, cookies, and shortcuts.
  • Pass: On-Demand scans only. CPM takes no action on the detected spyware/grayware, but records the detection in the logs
  • Deny access: Real-Time scans only. CPM leaves the file in its original location but prevents non-Administrator users from opening, deleting, copying, or moving the file.
  • Display a notification message on the client computer when spyware/grayware is detected: Enabling this option allows CPM to display a notification message for end users to see when spyware or grayware has been detected on their client machine.
