Functionality

There is no package for it in the Package Center.

Configuration

On the Advanced page, you can configure how Security Advisor works.

The first item to configure is the Security Baseline. A baseline is a checklist of security rules. There are two predefined baselines for personal and business use. You also can create a custom baseline.

The security rules are divided into categories: Malware, Network, System, Update, and Account.
Although you can always start a scan manually, you can define a Scan Schedule. You define the day of the week and the hour of the day.

If you prefer to save a report of each scan, configure the Report Settings on this page. Select a storage location and enable either or a monthly or daily report.

Logging and notification

When you configure email notifications in Control Panel, you receive reports by mail.

Stop and run

Uninstall and removal
