UserCheck Client
The UserCheck
Functionality in your Security Gateway or Cluster and endpoint clients that gives users a warning when there is a potential risk of data loss or security violation. This helps users to prevent security incidents and to learn about the organizational security policy.

UserCheck Client sends notifications for applications that are not in a web browser, such as Skype, iTunes, or browser add-ons (such as radio toolbars). The UserCheck Client can also work together with the UserCheck Portal to show notifications on the computer itself in these cases:
-
It is not possible to show the notification in a web browser.
-
The UserCheck engine determines that the notification does not appear correctly in the web browser.
Notifications of incidents are shown in a pop up from the UserCheck Client in the system tray.
Users select an option in the notification message to respond in real-time.
