- Levels of Security
- LANProtect provides two types of security. First, the four scans can
- be configured to offer different levels of protection against viruses.
- Second, LANProtect password protection ensures that unauthorized
- personnel will not tamper with the scans.
-
- The way you use and configure LANProtect determines the system■s
- level of protection against viruses.
-
- Maximum Security
- LANProtect defaults to the highest level of security. The following
- configurations are the defaults for maximum security:
- ■ Scan all DOS and Macintosh files on the Prescheduled and Manual
- Server scans
- ■ Scan both incoming and outgoing files on the server with the Real
- Time scan
- ■ Move infected files to the specified or default virus directory
- ■ Generate and save a report to a text file upon scan completion
- ■ Notify more than one person when a virus is detected
- ■ Require passwords known only by a select few to unload and
- unlock the LANProtect menu screen
- ■ Notify users when they access an infected file
-
-
- Moderate Security
- This level of security relates to a more relaxed virus detection and
- remedial environment. The following is a list of the configurations
- and options selected for moderate security:
- ■ Scan selected files intermittently with the Manual Server and
- Prescheduled Server scans
- ■ Scan only incoming files with the Real Time scan
- ■ Rename infected files
- ■ Generate a report and send it to the printer
- ■ Notify only the system administrator when a virus is foundPassword Protection
- Password protection for unloading LANProtect and limiting access to
- all the menus in LANProtect is built in. In addition, you may
- optionally lock the NLM screen when you walk away from the
- console.
- To unload the LANProtect NLM for maximum security:
- 1. Press <Esc> from the LANProtect Options menu.
- A dialog box appears.
-
- 2. Select Yes to unload the LANProtect NLM.
- A dialog box appears.
-
- 3. Enter the LANProtect Unload password.
- The default password is LANPROTECT.
- The LANProtect NLM is unloaded. If you configure it to load
- with immediate password protection, only those who know the
- unlock password will be able to access LANProtect.
- In the Security menu the following options are available:
- ■ Lock LANProtect Menu
- ■ Modify Screen Unlock Password
- ■ Modify Unload Password
-
- To ensure maximum security, default passwords should be changed
- once the scans are configured and running. Default passwords for
- the LANProtect NLM are the same: LANPROTECT.
-
- Lock LANProtect Menu
- The ■Lock LANProtect Menu■ option allows the supervisor to restrict
- access to the LANProtect NLM screen. When the menus are locked,
- the only screens that are accessible without the password are the help
- screens (accessed by pressing <F1>) and the Monitor screen (accessed
- by pressing <F8>).
- To lock the LANProtect menu:
- 1. Select Security | Lock LANProtect Menu.

- are the help and Monitor screens. The help screens are accessed by
- pressing <F1>, and the Monitor screen is accessed by pressing <F8>.

- LANProtect can be loaded with an optional command line switch,
- PROTECT, so it will immediately lock and require a password to

- is a power outage or when you load LANProtect from the
- AUTOEXEC.NCF.
