(imported topic written by gcibirch91)

Hi

Have all the Tasks for the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool been removed from Bigfix?

I can’t see them and previous actions are showing no links.

Thanks

We are evaluating the product and having a Patch Overview dashboard would be great. How do I go about getting that?

You can find Patch Overview dashboard in Patching Support site. Please enable the site and navigate to Patch Management domain.

Thanks!
