The Endpoint Protection settings are based on the creation of profiles and groups of computers to which specific policies are assigned.
To configure the general settings in a profile, proceed as follows:
The default profile and the profiles created will be displayed in the
Profiles section of the
Settings tab.

General settings
Windows and Linux settings
From the Updates tab you can:
Enable or disable automatic updates of the protection engine and the virus signature file. You can also set how often the protection checks for new updates of the protection engine, and a time period or dates for the updates.
You can also enable the option Restart automatically computers if necessary to complete updates. In this case, you can select whether to automatically restart only stations, only servers or both.
Enable or disable the automatic updates of the signature file and set how often to check for the availability for new updates.
Note: On Linux computers it is not possible to configure the frequency of the automatic updates of the signature file. These will always take place every 4 hours.
Scheduled scans tab:
Here you can configure the scans to be launched through the console.
You can create a new scan, modify a scan, or delete it.
Scans can be immediate, scheduled or periodic.
You can scan the whole PC, the hard disks, email and other items (in this case you must specify the path to scan).
In the Advanced Settings, you can configure several options:
Warnings tab:
Here you can configure warnings to be displayed when malware, intrusion attempts or unallowed devices are detected on your computers. You can also indicate whether these warnings will be local, by email or both.
The difference is that local warnings are displayed on the computer or computers on which the detection occurs, while email warnings are sent to the selected computers. Follow these steps:
First, select the Send email warnings checkbox.
Complete the Message subject field.
Enter an email address and specify the SMTP server to be used for sending warnings. If the server requires authentication, enter the relevant user name and password.
Click OK.
From the Advanced options you can:
Specify the path on which you want to install the program.
The default path is: %ProgramFiles%\Panda Security\WAC
- Indicate whether to enable or disable scanning with Collective Intelligence. It is not advisable to disable it as it will reduce the detection capabilities.
Note: If you select the Disable scans with Collective Intelligence checkbox, you will disable all automatic background scans: memory scans and scans of specific locations of the hard disk.
Also, if you select the Disable scans with Collective Intelligence checkbox, you will disable cloud scanning for all scan types: on-access and scheduled scans. Server connection settings
You can also configure the frequency with which computer agents connect to the server.
You can select a computer to be used as a proxy/repository server for all communications of computers with this same profile. This means that all computers will attempt to communicate with Panda’s servers through this computer. Additionally, this computer will store (from version 6.0), all files downloaded from the Internet so that they don’t have to be downloaded again if requested by another computer.
Quarantine settings: You can establish an alternative path for items restored from quarantine if they cannot be restored to their original location.
Uninstallation: You can implement password-protection to prevent accidental or unwanted uninstallation of the protection. This password will always be requested whenever there is an attempt to uninstall the protection or agent.
