Setting the Security Environment

In the 

, Avira SMC uses so-called virtual groups of computers 

in order to perform installation, configuration and monitoring tasks. Only 
computers integrated into the Security Environment can be managed with Avira 
SMC.

You must configure the hierarchical structure of your network in the Security 
Environment in such a way, that the structure complies with the specifications for 
general installation and configuration of the Avira products on your computers.

For this purpose, you should organize the so-called virtual groups under the 
Security Environment nodes, to reflect your company’s structure. You can create 
various network groups, such as computers in specific departments, or you can 
group computers with similar installation or configuration (products in English, 
for example).

You can also create nested groups. Single or multiple groups can always be nested 
into other groups. You can rename computers and groups in the Security 
Environment.

Status in Security

Environment

The status for computers and groups is displayed as an icon when SMC Frontend 
starts, depending on the login account.

Green monitor, green arrow: computer started, SMC Agent installed and running, 
full access possible.

Light blue monitor, red arrow: computer started, SMC Agent not installed.
