Virus Reports
The Virus Reports section includes reports that show details
on viruses that have been identified by the firewall. These reports help in
identifying the top viruses and worms that have affected the network, analyze
the extent of damage, and also track the source of the attack.
On the top right side of the Report screen, there will be three combo boxes. They are:
- Top 5
- Filter by
- Export as
