Preset protection profiles 33
• The application scans e-mail messages using a combined scan policy:
each message is first scanned for viruses as a whole and then each
message object is scanned separately, regardless of whether infected
objects are found or not.
• E-mail messages are filtered by MIME type. The application filters both
e-mails which have references to external objects (message/external-
body type), and e-mails which have parts of the attached object
(message/partial type), and deletes them.
• A backup copy and an information file are created for every message that
undergoes anti-virus processing or filtering.
• The application deletes all infected, suspicious and protected objects in
the messages without trying to cure them.
• If the message contains objects which scan returns an error, its content
will be replaced with a warning.
• Notifications regarding the actions applied to the message or its objects
are sent to the recipient and administrator.
• All application messages and events are logged in the report.
5.2. High effective security profile
Compared with High Overall Security profile, High Effective Security profile
provides enhanced anti-virus protection because the application tries to cure
infected objects and deletes them only if they are not curable. Less information is
recorded in the application report. The profile has the following characteristics:
• E-mail messages are scanned using a combined scan policy: each
message is first scanned for viruses as a whole, and then each message
object is scanned separately, regardless of whether infected objects are
found or not.
• E-mail messages are filtered by MIME type. The application filters e-mails
which have references to external objects (message/external-body type)
and deletes them.
• A backup copy and information file are created for every message that
undergoes anti-virus processing.
• All infected messages and their objects are subject to anti-virus
processing. If disinfection fails, the message or a part of it will be deleted.
• All suspicious and password protected objects of mail messages, and
objects which scan returned an error, are deleted. The application sends
notifications regarding deleted messages or objeсts.
