Virus Scanning
Specify inbound, outbound and internal messages and attachments that
should be scanned for malicious code.
Disabling virus scanning disables archive processing and grayware
scanning as well.
Scan Messages for
Viruses
Enable or disable the virus scan. The virus scan
scans messages for viruses and other malicious
code.
List of Attachments to
Scan
Specify attachments that are scanned for
viruses. For more information, see “
Lists and
Templates
”, 24.
Use Exclusions
Specify attachments that are not scanned.
Leave the list empty if you do not want to
exclude any attachments from the scan.
Heuristic Scanning
Enable or disable the heuristic scan. The
heuristic scan analyzes files for suspicious code
behavior so that the product can detect unknown
malware.
By default, the heuristic scan is enabled for
inbound mails and disabled for outbound and
internal mails.
The heuristic scan may affect the product
performance and increase the risk of false
malware alarms.
Attempt to Disinfect
Infected Attachments
Specify whether the product should try to
disinfect an infected attachment before
processing it. If the disinfection succeeds, the
product does not process the attachment further.
Disinfection may affect the product performance.
