Configure the Anti-malware Profile from EDR UI

The default antivirus configurations are also downloaded on the endpoint asset, as the virus definitions are downloaded on the endpoint asset.

Before configuring a New Anti-malware profile, all the Asset(s) are attached to the existing Default profile. Also, the Default profile will be an ultimate fallback profile for Asset(s) without tags or fallouts from Tag-Profile manipulations.

Do not disable the Anti-Malware option from the target host. Disabling this option will remove the quarantine folder, which cannot be recovered. You can disable the OnAccess and Behavioral Scan options.
