The Control Center utilizes non-touch-friendly dropdown menus, and it’s for desktops and laptops only-no mobile protection is offered through the suite. Small Office Security isn’t as Windows 8-ready as other suites we’ve seen. Administrators have full privileges, while employees have access only to network security and user management. In addition to the dashboard, Control Center includes six other tabs from which you can install protection and manage settings, set and apply policies, run reports, remotely manage quarantined files, and check user activity logs. The Top 10 Detected Malware section features a bar graph that can help you identify if certain types of viruses are hitting your servers. For example, the Malware Status section includes a pie chart that illustrates how many systems are infected, fixed, and completely clean. Each section displays a graph or a chart in varying shades of red and green to indicate how your network is faring. It’s divided into four sections: Malware Activity, Malware Status, Top 10 Detected Malware, and Computer Protection Status. The main page of the Control Center features a dashboard that provides a status snapshot of your managed clients.
