Explanation

Red warning sign

A red warning sign displayed in the Alerts and errors column on the Status tab means that a virus, worm, Trojan, spyware, or suspicious behavior has been detected.

Yellow warning sign

A yellow warning sign displayed in the Alerts and errors column on the Status tab indicates one of the following problems:

  • A suspicious file has been detected.
  • An adware or other potentially unwanted application has been detected.
  • An error has occurred.

A yellow warning sign displayed in the Policy compliance column indicates that the computer is not using the same policy or policies as other computers in its group.

If there are multiple alerts or errors on a computer, the icon of an alert that has the highest priority will be displayed in the Alerts and errors column. Alert types are listed below in descending order of priority.

  1. Virus and spyware alerts
  2. Suspicious behavior alerts
  3. Suspicious file alerts
  4. Adware and PUA alerts
  5. Software application errors (for example, installation errors)

If several alerts with the same priority are received from the same computer, the most recent alert will be displayed in the computer list.

Protection disabled or out of date

A gray feature icon in the feature status column on the Status tab means that the feature is disabled. For example, a gray shield in the On-access column means that on-access scanning is inactive.

A clock icon in the Up to date column means that the security software is out of date.
