Key Differences in Wizards

When you migrate from CPM to CPM for Mac, note the following the differences in the wizards.

Real-Time Scan Settings Wizard

CPM for Mac supports a subset of the CPM configuration:

  • Malware scans enabled or disabled.
  • User activity on files.
  • Scan compressed files that are enabled or disabled.
  • Scan action:
    • Use Active Action
    • Use custom actions
      • First action: CPM for Mac supports only three types of the first action:
        1. Clean
        2. Delete
        3. Quarantine
          Note: If administrators select an unsupported option for the first action, such as Rename, CPM for Mac does not apply the generated Action for this configuration. The original value is retained.
      • Second action: CPM for Mac supports only two types of the first action:
        1. Delete
        2. Quarantine

On-Demand Scan Settings Wizard

CPM for Mac no longer supports the following options and features.

Table 1. What's New or Changed
Option Resolution
All Spyware/Grayware actions/options Ignored and Virus/Malware settings used
Files to Scan (Windows filters by extension, Mac takes lists of file names) Different target options between CPM and CPM for Mac are used
Scan Compressed files maximum layers Ignored on Mac
Scan Boot Area Ignored on Mac
Enable IntelliTrap Ignored on Mac
CPU Setting Medium Ignored on Mac
Scan Exclusion options Ignored on Mac
Note: To configure Scan Exclusions for Mac, use the Scan Exclusion Settings for Mac wizard.
Rename action option Ignored on Mac
Specific action for virus type Use defaults (Clean/Quarantine)
Back up Files before cleaning Ignored on Mac
Display a notification message Ignored on Mac
Note: CPM for Mac consolidates All Spyware/Grayware actions and options under the Virus/Malware scan options. CPM for Mac ignores this option when it constructs Mac actions and relevance in favor of the Virus/Malware scan options.

Pattern Update and Rollback Wizard

After the wizard upgrades the server components, it shows any pattern sets downloaded with the earlier CPM 1.5 or 1.6 AU server components and the new CPM 2.0 AU server components. The rollback feature is supported only by CPM.
  • After you subscribe to the CPM for Mac site and upgrade the Server Components to the AU 2.0 plug-in architecture, the successive pattern sets downloaded show the Virus Scan Engine for Mac components.
  • Earlier pattern sets downloaded with the CPM 1.5 or 1.6 AU server will still exist.
  • Rollback capability for old and new pattern sets is restricted to CPM clients for Windows by applicability relevance.
  • CPM 1.5 pattern sets are not applicable to CPM for Mac clients and are restricted in the applicability relevance.
  • Unsubscribing from the CPM for Mac site does not automatically remove the Virus Scan Engine for Mac from the pattern updates. If this occurs, remove the CPM 2.0 AU server components and reinstall the CPM 1.5 or 1.6 AU server components.

Pattern Update Settings Wizard

After you upgrade the server components and download a new 2.0 pattern set, the setting to enable/disable the updating of the Virus Scan Engine for Mac displays.
  • After you subscribe to the CPM for Mac site and upgrade the Server Components to the AU 2.0 plug-in architecture, the successive pattern-set downloaded shows the Virus Scan Engine for Mac components.
  • After you download new pattern sets with the Virus Scan Engine for Mac, this new component appears to enable and disable the update.
  • Unsubscribing from the CPM for Mac site removes this setting.
