the transfer of the document. The SharePoint team page user receives a message:
Note
You can specify what is to happen when a virus is found in SharePoint central
administration under Security configuration :: Configure antivirus settings. This
means, for example, that you can allow infected files to be downloaded to allow users to
check infected documents for viruses and malware on their own computer system.
