Title: Remote Anti-Virus disinfection
Post by: siremi on June 26, 2008, 09:54:37 PM
Alright, this is some cool stuff  :)

- You can activate a remote anti-virus process to disinfect a virus using your own gateway resources to do it
To do this, you have to have an AV of the correct type on your Gateway. Click "Run AV" on the gateway AV.
You should have an option to use the AV on the remotehost.

- there needs to be an "Active Admin connection" with the remotehost to be able to scan for virii
- from there on it works like a normal AV process. When it's done, access the remotehost to complete the process.
- the time required is +50% more then a normal AV process time for a remote AV disinfection

This works like uploads, so only the initiating gateway can complete the remote disninfect process.
Others will be able to stop the remote disinfect only on the initiator gateway.

You may ask what's this good for?
Well, you can free targets of virii and install your own for one.
Or you could help your friends gateway by disinfecting that nasty virus they have   :laugh:

God Speed!

hmm..

would it be considered for this to work in reverse?

i know its an utter pain for newbies who get infected to then have to download at a snails pace due to compromised bandwidth.

just a thought
