Select a different mode for scanning web objects
This section explains how to select a different mode for the module that scans web objects for
infections.
Note: Which mode can be selected on your appliance depends on the licenses you have purchased.
To select a different mode for the scanning module:
1 Go to Policy | Rule Sets.
2 On the rule sets tree, select a virus and malware filtering rule set, for example, Gateway
Antimalware. The rules of this rule set appear on the settings pane.
3 Make sure Show Details (above the list of rules) is enabled and in the criteria of the Block if virus
was found rule, select the module settings, for example Gateway Antimalware. The Edit Settings
window opens.
4 Scroll down to the Select scanning engines section and select a combination of submodules that
uses a particular scanning mode.
• McAfee Gateway Anti-Malware including McAfee Anti-Malware — When selected, these
two submodules and Avira are active.
–> Scanning mode: proactive methods + virus signatures + third-party module functions
• McAfee Gateway Anti-Malware including McAfee Anti-Malware without Avira — When
selected, only the first two submodules are active.
–> Scanning mode: proactive methods + virus signatures.
• McAfee Anti-Malware only — When selected, only this submodule is active.
–> Scanning mode: signatures only
Note: If you select this mode for a Gateway Antimalware rule set, you should rename the settings and
the rule set, for example, to McAfee Anti-Malware settings and rule set respectively, to indicate a key
setting has changed.
5 Click OK and then Save Changes.
