To configure the actions of a virus scanner:
1. Select the virus scanner that you want to configure and click the
Actions tab.
2. Choose one of the following options:
 Quarantine item – Select this option if you want to quarantine all
virus-infected emails detected by this Virus Scanning Engine. You
can subsequently review (approve/delete) all the quarantined
emails.
 Delete item – Select this option to delete all virus-infected emails
detected by this Virus Scanning Engine.
NOTE: This option overrides the settings configured in the General
tab. i.e. If in the General tab, you selected Block all emails

genuine macro) but at the same time you have enabled the Delete
item option, ALL emails containing a macro will be deleted.

enable any of the following options:
 Notify local user – Select this option if you want to notify the
email local users when this filter detects a virus.
