Create Dynamic Groups

According to their settings, dynamic groups are like filtering groups. ESET PROTECT places machines in dynamic groups automatically. ESET PROTECT automatically recognizes when a (new) computer meets the criteria defined in a dynamic group and adds it to the appropriate dynamic group.
