AntiVirus Report Listing Specific Viruses Found

Reporting

Is there a way to create a report listing the specific viruses found and how many of each virus?

Our BES deployment is currently 6.0 and we have the Anti-Virus module from the AntiThreat Solution Pack to manage Trend Micro on our systems.

Hi Hexadecimal,

In web reports you can only pull information that has already been reported to the server. This means you have to have a property or analysis that reports back “viruses found” information.

If you have the “Client Manager for Anti-Virus” site, you can use the "Detected Viruses - Symantec AntiVirus " property of the “Symantec AntiVirus - Virus Information” analysis.

If you have the “BigFix AntiVirus” site, you can use the “Viruses Found” property of the “BigFix AntiVirus - Scan Statistics” analysis.

Or you can create your own property to return the info you want.

Which every way you choose, you can create a web report that lists this information by going to the “Create” tab in web reports, and selecting the “Single Retrieved Property Status” option. On the next page, select the property you want, and web reports will make a report for you.

Thank you for your reply. I have a couple of more questions.

  1. I see the “Detected Viruses - Symantec AntiVirus” property and it looks like it queries the Event Viewer for entries by Symantec AntiVirus. Will this property work for Trend or would I have to create a custom retrieved property to sift through all of Trend’s log files (If so do you have any examples)?

  2. We have the “BigFix AntiVirus - Scan Statistics”. Will this only work if we the engine provided by BF is used or will it return data for Trend clients as well?

You will need to create your own analysis / properties to bring back information on Trend.

If you post an example of a virus detection event in a trend log, we can help you with the necessary relevance.

Anything you can do to add some additional functionality/support on the Trend side would be great. I’ll get our Trend administrator to see if he can help out…
