Virus Scanning
The Virus Scanning section looks like this:
Using this section, you can configure actions, e. g. Block, Block and system
log, orAllow, for virus-infected content that has been detected by the antimalware
engine.
The anti-malware engine covered by your license is displayed at the top of this
section.
This engine scans all files, including archives and active elements in Web and
e-mail traffic. This occurs, however, only after all other filters have been applied,
so files that are blocked do not unnecessarily need to be checked for
viruses.
You can configure different actions for virus-infected Web or e-mail traffic.
To ensure an optimum level of performance for the filtering functions, the virus
signature files need to be updated in intervals that you can configure. You can
also perform a manual update at any time.
An alert marked with an orange rectangle will remind you to perform an update
if this has not been done for at least three days. With this alert, the Check
Update Manager link is displayed, which will take you to the AV Engine tab
of the Update Manager.
After specifying the appropriate settings, click on Apply Changes to make
them effective.
Use the following item to configure virus scanning:
• Virus found
From the drop-down lists provided here, select actions for Web or e-mail
traffic or for both.
These actions will be taken should the anti-malware engine detect a virusinfected
object.
