  7. Products • Virus Scan • ‘This year, reviews give the edge to McAfee VirusScan 2006 over the other industry leader, Norton Anti-Virus.’[1] • Many features and very customizable • Block non authorized SMTP programs, main note that URI has had to add several programs for users to send email, most popular programs are already included such as Thunderbird, Eudora, Outlook, etc. • Change Daily scan time and frequency (Currently Daily) • Change local repository (Currently URI, then McAfee) • Change how often to check for new virus definitions (Currently every few hours) [1] http://www.consumersearch.com/www/software/antivirus-software/index.html

  8. Products • Virus Scan • Disadvantage: System resource hog during daily scans • Need to realize the any changes made on a local machine are overridden every 5 minutes by central policy

  9. Products • Anti-Spyware • Advantage is that it adds Approx. 500+ additional definitions for known spyware. • No additional CPU overhead for running two separate products as with others (Ad-Aware, Spyware, etc) • McAfee paid support for Q&A • Rated #1 by independent review: • http://www.uri.edu/virus/app/spywarereview.pdf

  10. Products • Anti-Phishing • Free tool for IE Browsers • Warns and blocks access to Spoofed Websites (Picks up most, does miss some) • Note: A fake PayPal website looks the same in IE as it does in Firefox • Download at: www.uri.edu/virus/tools • Screen Shot: http://www.uri.edu/virus/app/phishing.doc

  12. Products • Stinger • Free tool that only runs when initiated and can only detect about 50-60 Viruses • Disadvantage must be downloaded each time you use as it will be out of date • Advantage is it is very fast as a ‘Seek and Destroy’ Stand Alone Tool • Note: Big misconception that it has a complete list of all viruses. It Doesn’t • Download at: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ or a bit out of date www.uri.edu/virus/tools

  13. Products • SuperDat • Free package with all Virus/Spyware definitions • Note: Dats contain only the last few definitions and Extra Dats are issued in between dats when URI detects Brand New Viruses (which has happened several times) • Note: Won’t install Spyware definitions is Anti-Spyware is not installed • Download at: http://www.mcafee.com/apps/downloads/security_updates/superdat.asp or local at www.uri.edu/virus/tools

  14. Products • LinuxShield • Linux AV protection • Don’t be ‘too cool’ not to install • Several Linux machines on campus would have detected hackers installing malicious code and back door programs if used • This can be monitored and generate reports via ePo console • Note: Be sure to check and install patches • RPM and Source Code available • Download at: http://www.uri.edu/virus/linux.php

  17. Products • Firewall • ePo Managed vs. Standalone Managed allows an admin to control the Firewall rule set on several machines at once remotely. Standalone only gets patches and IPS updates from the ePo server, no policies. Managed on default install, does not allow user to make rule changes, hides the icon, and has set of normally needed Microsoft ports blocked.

  18. Products • Firewall • Several Features • Block IPs, Protocols, Ports, Programs, DNS Names (very granular rules) • Great logs, must choose activity to log, can change location • Includes several Buffer overflow attempt definitions

  21. ePo Console • Policy Control based on IP, Workgroup, Domain, Computer Name • Policies • Note: ePo console has to be at same patch level as sever, so each major patch release requires a local patch….can not be applied automatically or remotely • Same applies to McAfee Firewall ref. patches
