Malware protection overview

Prev Next

Trellix's Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent malware protection feature guards and defends your host endpoints against malware infections by automatically scanning all files on your host endpoint for malicious code. Malware includes viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, adware, key loggers, rootkits, and other potentially unwanted programs (PUP). This section provides an overview of the Endpoint Security (HX) malware protection feature and how to configure policies and settings to manage malware protection on your endpoints.

Note

Malware protection is not supported for host endpoints running Windows 2003, XP, and Vista. See "Operating System Requirements" in the Endpoint Security (HX) Server Deployment Guide for more information about the Windows versions that support Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent version 26 and later.
