Anti-virus Application Rules
It is important to protect your network from viruses. Every time an end point user logs in,
your network is exposed to any viruses that the end point computer is infected with.
Users who access your network through a gateway are particularly likely to be infected,
since they are more likely to use their computers for personal uses, which put them at risk
for viruses.

since they are more likely to use their computers for personal uses, which put them at risk
for viruses.
In order to protect your organization from viruses, you should require your users to have
anti-virus protection. Effective anti-virus protection requires not only having the correct
anti-virus software on your end point computers, but also having a recent version of that
software and up-to-date software definitions. If end point users have out-of-date
software definitions, they will not be protected against the latest viruses.

Anti-virus application rules determine which anti-virus applications your end point
computers must have when they are logged into your network. Since users can
sometimes disable their anti-virus software, all anti-virus applications rules require that
the application be running. For your convenience, anti-virus enforcement rules are pre-
configured with supported anti-virus providers.

If you want to require that your end point computers have a supported form of anti-virus
protection, create an anti-virus enforcement rule for your policy. It is recommended that
you require an anti-virus application with a DAT file no older than 14 days. In the case of
a virus outbreak, you should require that the DAT file be no more than 24 hours old.

NOTE:
If you want to create an enforcement rule for an anti-virus
provider not supported by the anti-virus applications rules, you can do so
by creating a custom software rule to require the application. See
