OLE offers a large number of benefits to developers, at the same time it can lead to
potential infection. To address this issue, Trend Micro has added a new scan feature
"OLE layer scan" which complements state-of-the-art ServerProtect virus protection.
See Scanning Viruses on page 3-45.
Tip: OLE layer scan offers five layers of protection. Trend Micro recommends a setting of
2 OLE layers for Scan Now and a setting of 1 for Real-time Scan. A lower setting
will improve server performance.
IntelliScan
IntelliScan is a new method of identifying which files to scan that is both more
secure, and more efficient, than the standard "Scan All files" option.
For executable files (that is, .zip, .exe), true file type is determined from file content.
In the event that a file is not executable (i.e. txt), IntelliScan will use the file header to
verify the true file type. See Scanning Viruses on page 3-45.
The following are just a couple of the benefits IntelliScan offers to administrators:
• Performance optimization: Server system resources allotted to scan will be
minimal, thus using IntelliScan will not interfere with other crucial applications
running on the server.
• Time saving: Since IntelliScan uses true file type identification, IntelliScan scan
time is significantly less than that of all files scan (this means that only files with a
greater risk of being infected are scanned). This time difference is noticeable when
you use IntelliScan with Scan Now. See Configuring Scan Now on page 3-52.
ActiveAction
ActiveAction is a set of pre-configured scan actions that can be performed on viruses
and other types of malware. ActiveAction can be configured for both Scan Now and
Real-time Scan.
