Summary

Prevent the OfficeScan client/agent icon from loading in the Windows client desktop system tray through the OfficeScan server management console. This will restrict user access but still keep the client protected. OfficeScan services will remain running except for the pccntmon process.

The client will not send virus logs to the server when pccntmon is stopped.

Details

To hide the OfficeScan client/agent icon:

Log in to the OfficeScan server management console.
For OfficeScan 11.0/XG, go to Agents > Agent Management.
For OfficeScan 10.6 and below, go to Networked Computers > Client Management and then select the domain that you want to turn off the OfficeScan icon.
Click Settings > Privileges and Other Settings > Other Settings tab.
Under Client Console Access Restriction, tick the "Do not allow users to access the client console from the system tray" or "Windows Start menu" checkbox.
Click Apply to All Clients.
Restart the OfficeScan client/agent.

If there’s a need to revert the settings, repeat the entire procedure but untick the check box in Step 4.
