Configuring Alerts within the Avast ADNM Console

In order to receive an Administrative Email Notification each time a Virus is detected by the Avast Workstation Client, it is necessary to configure the following settings within the “Avast Distributed Network Manager” (ADNM) Console:

[1] Basic SMTP Settings
 
[2] SMTP Settings within the “Computer Catalog” Properties

[3] Add an SMTP Alert
 
The “Net Alert Address” is the Address that will receive the Alert.
 
At this point, use the “Test” Button to make sure the Alert is properly generated. A “Virus Warning” Test message should arrive at the nominated Mailbox.

[4] Configure the “On Access Scanning Tasks”

 
This will ensure the Alert "fires” when a Virus is detected.

[5] Configure the “On Demand Scanning Tasks”

These should be configured in exactly the same way as the “On Demand Scanning Tasks”
