Cisco Nac agent "List of Antivirus & Anti-Spyware Products Detected by the Agent "

[navdeep_singh]

Hi All,

We have posture assessment working with cisco Nac agent. Checking only symantec Antivirus def update and installation. Since there is windows defender in all the user pcs and turned off not in use. But cisco Nac agent is showing both windows defender and symantec in List of Antivirus & Anti-Spyware Products Detected by the Agent field. We dont want windows defender to show in this list.

Anyone encountered this list before?? Please suggest.. I want to get rid of windows defender from this list in nac agent.

Closest enhancement I could check on this is

CSCts34764    NAC: Request for ANY rule to pass if 1 AS/AV definition is up to date

Currently Windows Defender AnitSpyware comes installed on all Windows 7 machines.  Many users disable this and install their own AntiSpyware product.  Currently when using the ANY AntiSpyware up to date rule, it will fail if say MSE is up to date but not Windows Defender (since it is disabled).

This is an enhancement request to add the ability to pass the ANY check if 1 AntiSpyware or AntiVirus definition is up to date but another is installed and out of date.  Currently if a customer wants to accomplish this they need to create a rule for every AntiVirus or AntiSpyware product and use the "Any Selected Rule Succeeds" option which is very cumbersome to configure.

Hi Jatin,

Thanks for reply..

Actually, posture is not failing because of windows defender.

We only want windows defender not to show in the nac agent list, since we are not using it.
