Note If a file is uploaded <strong>and</strong> is later identified as containing a virus, the<br />

user will not be able to open the file. In this situation, however, the user<br />

on any server computer running Windows SharePoint Services before you can<br />

server in the server farm. Consult your antivirus software vendor to find out whether<br />

they offer a virus scanner for use with Windows SharePoint Services <strong>and</strong> for information<br />

about installing the virus scanner.<br />

Note McAfee Security is providing a virus scanner for customers using Windows<br />

SharePoint Services. For information about their virus scanner, go to the<br />

McAfee website (http://www.McAfee.Com). Or, for a list of antivirus software<br />

vendors that support antivirus protection for Windows SharePoint Services,<br />

see the Windows SharePoint Services Partners website.<br />
