Viewing and Handling Viruses

After the virus scanning is complete, the system handles the infected files based on the handling policy selected. The handling policies are as follows:

  • Automatic Handling: Virus files that have been further confirmed are automatically isolated. Suspicious files are labeled with suspicious and need to be handled after manual confirmation.
  • Manual Handling: Alarms are generated only for detected infected files. You need to manually confirm the files before handling them.

The section describes how to view and manually handle infected files.

Prerequisites

A virus scanning task has been executed. For details, see Scanning for Viruses.

    Description

    Mark as handled

    You can manually handle the virus-infected file on the server.

    Ignore

    Ignore the virus-infected file alarm. If the virus-infected file alarm event occurs again, HSS generates an alarm.

    Isolated files are added to the Isolated Files and cannot harm your server. You can restore or delete isolated files as required. For details, see Isolated Files.

  7. Click OK.

    After the alarm is handled, the status of the virus file alarm event changes to Handled. You can view the handling records on the historical handling records page. For details, see Viewing the Handling History.
