Unknown

The Unknown node and its corresponding Unknown Software pane display both executable files and virtual application images on the computer that do not match any of the predefined or user-defined software definitions when performing a signature scan.

Once detected, you can register such files and virtual application images as software definitions by right-clicking a file or virtual application image in the list and selecting Create software definition. Then the next time you run the scan, this software is automatically detected and removed from the Unknown list.

Note: The signature scanner must be configured to detect unknown virtual application images.
