Mail Anti-Virus 97
A special plug-in (see 8.2.2 on pg. 101) is provided for Microsoft Office Outlook
that can configure email scans more exactly.
If you use The Bat!, Kaspersky Internet Security can be used in conjunction with
other anti-virus applications. The rules for processing email traffic (see 8.2.3 on
pg. 102) are configured directly in The Bat! and supersede the Kaspersky
Internet Security email protection settings.
Caution!
This version of Kaspersky Internet Security does not contain Mail Anti-Virus
extensions for 64-bit versions of email clients.
When working with other email programs, including Microsoft Outlook Express
(Windows Mail), Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora, Incredimail, Mail Anti-Virus scans
email on SMTP, POP3, IMAP, MAPI, and NNTP protocols.
Note that emails transmitted on IMAP are not scanned in Thunderbird if you use
filters that move them out of your Inbox.
8.1. Selecting an email security level
Kaspersky Internet Security protects your email at one of these levels (see
fig. 30):
Maximum Protection – the level with the most comprehensive monitoring
of incoming and outgoing emails. The program scans email
attachments, including archives, in detail, regardless of how long the
scan takes.
Recommended – Kaspersky Lab experts recommend this level. It scans the
same objects as at Maximum Protection, with the exception of
attachments or emails that will take more than three minutes to scan.
High Speed – the security level with settings that let you comfortably use
resource-intensive applications, since the scope of email scanning is
limited. Thus, only your incoming email is scanned on this level, and in
doing so archives and objects (emails) attached are not scanned if they
take more than three minutes to scan. This level is recommended if you
have additional email protection software installed on your computer.
