Note
Where possible, Cisco recommends using AV Rules mapped to AV Definition Update Requirements
when checking antivirus software on clients, and AS Rules mapped to AS Definition Update
Requirements when checking anti-spyware software on clients. In the case of non-supported AV or AS
products, or if an AV/AS product/version is not available through AV Rules/AS Rules, administrators
always have the option of creating their own custom checks, rules, and requirements for the AV/AS
vendor (and/or using Cisco provided pc_ checks and pr_rules) through Device Management > Clean
Access > Clean Access Agent (use New Check, New Rule, and New File/Link/Local Check
Requirement). See the
when checking antivirus software on clients, and AS Rules mapped to AS Definition Update

products, or if an AV/AS product/version is not available through AV Rules/AS Rules, administrators
