Reset default antivirus or values

Anti-Virus parameters contained in FortiNAC are updated weekly using the Auto-Def updates feature. This ensures that new version numbers and bug definition files for Anti-Virus software that you require are taken into account when users' computers are scanned.

If you have manually edited any parameters associated with a particular Anti-Virus software the Auto-Def update does not override your settings for that software. To reset Anti-Virus to the default values and allow the Auto-Def updates feature to update parameters do the following:

  1. Click Policy > Policy Configuration.
  2. In the menu on the left click the + sign next to Endpoint Compliance to open it.
  3. Click the Scans option to select it.
  4. Select a Scan and click Modify.
  5. Click either Windows or Mac, whichever applies.
  6. Select Anti-Virus from the Categories drop-down.
  7. Uncheck the checkbox for the software for which you have modified settings.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Open the same Scan again and navigate back to the software you unchecked.
  10. Check the checkbox for the previously modified settings and click OK.
  11. Repeat this process for each Anti-Virus software that needs to be reset to defaults.
  12. The next time the Auto-Def updates feature retrieves and installs an update, the Anti-Virus software that you reset will accept the updated parameters.
