Summary
OfficeScan agents can log and block all connections made between endpoints and addresses in the Global C&C IP list. You can also log, but still allow access to IP addresses configured in the User-defined Blocked IP List.
OfficeScan agents can also monitor connections that may be the result of a botnet or other malware threat. After detecting a malware threat, OfficeScan agents can attempt to clean the infection.
