You can enable and disable MalwareGuard for all of your host sets using the xAgent default policy or specific host sets in your environment using a custom policy.
Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent can run the MalwareGuard Engine independently of the Malware Protection Engine. When MalwareGuard only is turned on, any action on the Endpoint gets Malware scanning without depending on Anti-Virus protection. If both the MalwareGuard Engine and Malware Protection Engine are turned on, the Malware Protection Engine runs first.
This section covers how to use the Web UI to enable and disable MalwareGuard. See the Endpoint Security (HX) REST API Guide for information on using the API to manage your malware protection policies.
