Additional Notes
- Cb Defense is a Microsoft-certified antivirus provider for WSC. See Consumer antivirus software providers for Windows (Microsoft).
- You can integrate Cb Defense with WSC and designate Cb Defense as your antivirus provider on devices that are running Windows 7 or later operating systems.
- You must be using Cb Defense sensor version 2.1.0.9 or later to do so (latest version is recommended). When WSC integration is enabled, Cb Defense is listed as the antivirus provider on the device.
- For newly provisioned Cb Defense orgs, WSC integration is enabled by default in the default (Standard) policy group. You can disable WSC integration at any time; Doing so does not disable Cb Defense.
- Cb Defense orgs provisioned prior to release of 2.1.0.9 sensor (before July, 2017) will need to enable WSC via policy settings.
