Malware Protection uses malware definitions to detect and identify files infected by malware. When malware definitions are out of date on your host endpoint, the Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent malware protection engine sends a notification alert to prompt the user to update the malware definitions. Malware definitions should be updated every 7 days.
