5. Activation of the Information Store Job
Beside the virus scan on the transport level AntiVir Exchange is also able to check
data in the public or private information store of the MS Exchange.
This filter is deactivated by default but can be activated if desired. Three main sectors
are covered with the information store scan:
On-Demand Scan
In case a client tries to open a message a comparison is proceeded in order to make
sure that the text and the attachment has been checked by the latest virus signature
file. If the content has not been checked by the latest virus signature file the
corresponding message component is sent to the virus scanner before it is forwarded
to the client. The on-demand scan is the most common sector for which the
information store scan is chosen.
Proactive Scan
The proactive scan checks new incoming messages before the client accesses to it
via the on-demand scan. The proactive scan is an addition to the on-demand scan
which can provide a faster client access.
Background Scan
With the background scan a complete scan of all elements of the information store
can be proceeded. This scan can be activated separately for the public and the
private information store. All elements are scanned which have not yet been checked
with the latest virus signature file.
In addition you have the possibility to proceed a time controlled scan. So you can
scan the information store f. ex. on the weekend.
Just like for the “Mail-Transport-Jobs” you can define the actions to be proceeded in
case of a virus detection here.
