Functionality
Symantec AntiVirus 10.2 (SAV102) checks for viruses, all: 'program starts', 'document opens', 'file copies/moves/opens' and 'email opens/sends'. If a virus is found it is either cleaned, deleted or quarantined. In addition to the the 'guard' facility the hard disk can be searched (scanned) for viruses - any virus found will be cleaned deleted or quarantined. However some viruses become undeleteble and further action is required. If a virus is 'left alone' or is detected again on a second scan (having apparently been dealt with on the first scan) you will need to call the ISS Service Desk who will send a technician to disinfect the PC.
SAV102 has a limited anti-spyware capability.
