•Left-click the icon of the group to open or to hide the contents of a group.

•Left-click the icon of the station to open the properties sheet of this station.

The appearance of the icon depends on the type and status of this element (see table below).

Icons of elements in the hierarchical list

Management of the anti-virus network catalog elements is carried out via the toolbar of the hierarchical list.

Toolbar
