Advanced configuration
• Grayware - These are unsolicited commercial software programs that are 
installed on computers, often without the user's consent or knowledge. 
Grayware programs are generally considered an annoyance, but these 
programs can cause system performance problems or be used for malicious 
ends. The FortiGate unit scans for known grayware executable programs in 
each enabled category.
• Heuristics - The FortiGate heuristic antivirus engine performs tests on the file 
to detect virus-like behavior or known virus indicators. In this way, heuristic 
scanning may detect new viruses, but may also produce some false positive 
results.
The antivirus elements work in sequence to give you an efficient method of 
scanning incoming files. The first three elements have specific functions, the 
fourth, the heuristics, is to cover any new previously unknown virus threats. The 
four elements work together to offer your network unparalleled antivirus 
protection. To ensure that your system is providing the most protection available, 
all virus definitions and signatures are up dated regularly through the FortiGuard 
antivirus services.
To configure the file patterns that the FortiGate scans, go to AntiVirus > File 
Filter
To enable grayware blocking, go to AntiVirus > Config > Grayware.
Antivirus settings are turned on in the protection profile. In the protection profile 
you can enable antivirus options for specific services and which services will use 
the file patterns as a part of the antivirus process.
To configure antivirus protection profile settings, go to Firewall > Protection 
Profile
. Select edit for a profile and select the Anti-Virus options.
For details on the antivirus features and settings, see the FortiGate Administration 
Guide
 or the FortiGate Online Help.
AntiSpam options
The FortiGate unit’s antispam feature detects unsolicited commercial email by 
identifying spam email messages and spam transmissions from known or 
suspected spam servers.
This feature requires a FortiGuard subscription and a registered FortiGate unit. 
When the FortiGate unit receives an email message, it verifies with the FortiGuard 
server whether it is a valid email or a spam message. FortiGuard Antispam is one 
of the features designed to manage spam. FortiGuard is an antispam system from 
Fortinet that includes an IP address black list, a URL black list, and spam filtering 
tools. The FortiGuard Center accepts submission of spam email messages as well 
as well as reports of false positives.
Depending on how you configure the FortiGate unit, the FortiGate unit will either 
tag the message with text so you can easily identify the spam, or delete the 
message before it reaches the recipient.
The FortiGate unit also enables you to create your own spam filters using banned 
words and black/white lists.
