Using the client software

After installing Enforced Client, the software runs on each client computer to immediately protect it from threats such as viruses and intrusions.

Typically, users have little interaction with the client software unless they want to manually scan for threats. User tasks are documented in the online User Help on client computers.

As an administrator, you can most easily use the SecurityCenter website to configure settings and monitor detections for client computers. Occasionally, you might work directly on a client computer.

Users and administrators access the client software’s features through these components on a client computer:
