Automatic virus definition update and distribution - At any one time, thousands of viruses will be active so it is important that you update your anti-virus software to maintain your network protection. RM Virus Protect can be scheduled to automatically gather the latest updates directly from Symantec's website. It will then automatically update computers across your network. Updates can also be downloaded for manual distribution.
Automatic virus repairs and alerts - The central quarantine allows the administrator to redirect all irreparable virus-infected files to a safe area. This feature strips sensitive data from the infected files, removes the viruses and prevents them from spreading throughout your school or college. When a repair is automatically launched an alert is broadcast to the IT administrator via the Symantec System Centre console.

Please note your establishment's ICT support staff should provide support for Symantec AntiVirus when installed on home users' PCs.
