CHAPTER 1. KASPERSKY ANTI-

VIRUS FOR PROXY SERVER 

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.5 for Proxy Server (hereinafter also referred to as 
Kaspersky Anti-Virus or the Application) is intended for anti-virus protection of 
traffic routed via proxy servers based on Squid versions 2.5 and 3.0 with support 
for the Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) in accordance with RFC 
3507. 

The application allows the user to: 

•  Perform anti-virus scanning of objects transferred via the proxy server. 
•  Cure revealed infected objects and block access to an infected object if 

disinfection fails. 

•  Use group settings to define various filtration parameters applied 

depending upon the address of the user requesting an object and the 
object's address (URL). 

•  Log activity statistics including, in addition to other data, information about 

anti-virus scanning and its results, application errors and warnings. 

•  Notify administrators about detection of malicious software. 
•  Update the anti-virus databases. The application uses update servers of 

Kaspersky Lab as the source of updates. It can also be configured to 
update the databases from a local directory. 

The anti-virus databases are employed for detection of infected objects 
and their disinfection. The application uses database records to analyze 
every object checking it for virus presence: its content is compared with 
code typical for specific viruses. 

 

Please keep in mind that new viruses appear every day and therefore 
we recommend maintaining the anti-virus databases in an up-to-date 
state. New updates are made available on Kaspersky Lab update 
servers every hour.
