Administrator Notification
Trend Micro recommends that you enable Virus and Trojan notifications. Although Internet worms historically have propagated via email rather than the Web, leaving Other Internet threats unchecked will prevent you from receiving a notification each time a worm is detected (which doubles or even triples the email traffic caused by the worm).
Note
Note
1. Since IntelliTrap is considered a type of security threat, it is associated with "other Internet threats". Therefore, IntelliTrap notification is enabled when you select Other Internet threats.
2. To create a notification message that spans more than one line, type "\n" to force the text to the next line. Although the configured notification text still displays in a single-line in the IWSVA Web console. the notification message is displayed in multiple lines in email.
Send a message when the following are found:
__Virus __Trojan __Other Internet threats __Bots __Advanced Threat
Viruses infect a host file or files; the malicious code can usually be removed from the file, and the file restored. Viruses can be "cleaned". However, most threats now are not viruses -- they are Trojan horse programs, worms, network viruses and exploits, spyware programs, and fraud, or Phish sites.
Tip
Tip
Have notifications sent to a dedicated email account rather than your personal account to reduce the number of messages received. Alternatively, you may want to set up an email rule to process IWSVA messages.
User Notifications
Whenever IWSVA detects a virus or other Internet threat in client Web traffic—uploads as well as downloads—the user can be notified via their browser. IWSVA provides a default notification, or you can create a customized message.
  • You can design your own notification page using any HTML editor, then Import the page to IWSVA (for example, if you want to display company brandings, or provide a link to additional resources).
  • You can append a custom message to the IWSVA default by selecting both the Default and Customized options.
