Endpoint Security (v1.2.0.0) - 10 March 2008

View Status

The current available version is directly off the Grisoft RSS feed and will be updated within 15 minutes of Grisoft posting an updated

View Status

The "Threats" column nows present a link to the manage threats page filtered on that individual machine. The top machine filter is not affected.

Updates

Individual agents no longer have update schedules. The Kaseya Server now tracks updates and schedules update scripts on individual agents only as needed. This results in timelier updates with less overall activity.

Updates

Because of the new automatic update script assignment, periodic (recurring) updates are no longer allowed. This page is for "manual push" only.

Updates

KES updates now honor the "File Source" settings under Patch. So KES can now deploy updates to agents that are not internet-connected (as long as they can reach the file share and the file share can reach the Internet).

Updates

The KES Agent now goes to the VSA server for updates when the File Source is Kaseya Server or Internet

View Threats

Select All has new behavior. Now it selects all of the threats in the current filter instead of just the current page.

View Threats

Now has a "Purge" button in the action bar for "clean up". This will remove the threat from the active threat list (and put it in the history list) without triggering any script on the agent.

View Threats

There are now two tabs. The "Current Threats" tab is conceptually identical to the old page, showing threats that are current or in process of being taken care of. "Historical Threats" are threats that have been taken care of either through a clean, delete, restore, or purge.

View Threats

Additional filters: "machine", which allows narrowing by machine without affecting the top-level filter (useful for stepping back and forth from the status page). "Time" filters on the discovery date by min/max/in between. "Categories" filters on the threat type—whether antivirus or antispy. "Action" and "Status" filters by what action (if any) has been taken and what the progress of that action is (pending/failed).

View Logs

Filters added to make log more useful. "Time" filters by when the event occurred (you have a lower and an upper date, and if either is empty that end is "open", so both empty means "all"). "Categories" lets you pick events to view by category. "Message" lets you text search the message for some particular string.

Alarms

KES Alarms are now assigned via sets. These sets are created on the new ‘Define Alarm Sets’ page, and assigned on the ‘Apply Alarm Sets’ page.

Alarms

There are new KES alarms.

Define Profile

The profile UI has been updated to more closely reflect AVG.  A few new options have been added as well.

  • Certification text for incoming and outgoing mail.
  • Ability to add prefix text to the subject of a message that contained a virus.

Define Profile

A new tab called "Exchange" allows for configuration of the new real-time monitor for Exchange (see MS Exchange Install/Remove below)

PUPs

There is a new button on the view threats page ‘Add to PUP Exclusion List’.  Any threats selected when this is pressed will be added to an exclusion list for the profile assigned to the machine they were found on. If AVG decides a file by this name is a PUP on any machine with this profile, this file will be ignored (excluded).

Install/Remove

There is now an option to choose which profile to assign to a machine at install time.

MS Exchange Install/Remove

Added support for real-time monitoring of Exchange Servers. This page allows you to install Exchange Server support on any KES endpoint that is also an Exchange Server. Different licensing applies.
