Installing the application 23
• Configuring the keepup2date component.
• Installation (updating) of the anti-virus databases.
You must install the anti-virus databases before using the
application. The procedure of detecting and disinfecting viruses
relies on the use of the anti-virus database records that contain
description of viruses known at the moment and the methods of
disinfecting these viruses. Anti-virus scanning and processing of
email messages cannot be performed without the anti-virus
database.

The Webmin module for remote management of the application can be
installed correctly only if the Webmin application is located in the default
directory. After the module is installed, you will receive detailed
instructions on how to configure it to work with the application.

After you properly complete these steps, a corresponding message on the server
console will appear as soon as the installation procedure is over.
