mark as not infected

In exceptional cases, you may decide that an infected element is not to be flagged

infected. Subsequent virus scans will then find the virus again. This action is

intended for testing only, as it provides no protection for users and the system.

Note: Virus scanning in the MS Exchange Information Store is performed by the

Microsoft Virus Scanning API version 2.0/2,5. For further information, visit

Attention: Messages blocked by the Information Store scan may result in error

messages during Information Store backups.

Attention: Exiting or uninstalling Avira AntiVir Exchange and terminating the

Information Store scan jobs releases any elements that were blocked due to virus

infection as well as disabling the Information Store’s active virus protection.

4.2.3 Configuring and Enabling the AntiVir Scanner

Except for the AntiVir scan engine, we do not supply any virus scanners. Avira AntiVir

Exchange calls the scan engine through the Avira AV Interface - a DLL file.

Attention: Disable any real-time or on-access scan functions of your scan engines

for the ...\Avira\AntiVir Exchange\AntiVirData\ directory.

Test your scan engine for correct operation: Under AntiVir Monitor, select the desired

server name and, in the right pane, click Server Status. Under the Scan engine Test

tab, click on Start. If successful, an OK is returned along with a message saying that an

EICAR test virus was found.
