The MHS option provides administrators the capability of sending virus alert messages to the enduser through the MHS system, notifying the enduser of a viral attack. The Norton AntiVirus identifies over 2800 known viruses including both boot sector and file viruses. Bloodhound sets up a virtual computer to evaluate files, then it scrutinizes a program's overall structure, programming logic, instructions, file data, and other attributes, using heuristic logic to assess the likelihood of viral infection.
Clean files pass right through, but viral files are stopped before they can cause harm.
Under the MVP system, documents containing macros are checked against an MIS-approved list of macros. If the macros do not appear on the list, access to the document is denied and is not allowed to load. The approved macro list is a datafile, created and maintained by the corporate MIS department, and stored in the workstations' NAV directory. Also repairs many new virus infections automatically. Using this technology, NAV provides real-time protection on all platforms against even the most complex viruses.
