Enabling Malware Protection Notification Alerts

To enable the malware protection notification alert setting for all host endpoints:

Log in to the Web UI as an administrator.
From the Admin menu, select Policies to access the Policies page.
In the Policies table, click the Agent Default Policy link to access the Edit Policy page.
Select the Malware Protection tab.
Verify that malware detection and quarantine are enabled by ensuring that the Signature and Heuristic Detection ON/OFF switch and the Quarantine ON/OFF switch are both set to ON.

Malware detection (Signature and Heuristic Detection) and quarantine must be enabled before you enable malware protection quarantine actions.
Enabling quarantine may result in data loss when malware is blocked in an active process or file and malware protection terminates the process that started the infection.
Locate Quarantine Actions and select the Clean Infections from File (Once Quarantined) option to enable file cleaning for quarantined files.
Important
Clean Infections from File (Once Quarantined) must be enabled, or notification alerts are ignored.
Select the Notify the User on the Host When a File Has Been Quarantined or Cleaned option enable notification alerts.
Click Save.
