Configuring Virus checking

Configuring scanning engines

GFI MailSecurity can virus check all inbound, internal and outbound mail. All mails with viruses will be quarantined for review by an administrator.

One of the key features of GFI MailSecurity is that it can use one or more virus scanning engines. As standard, both the Norman Virus Control engine and the BitDefender virus scanning engine are included. Optionally you can license the McAfee virus scanning engine.

The Norman Anti virus engine is a proven and reliable virus detection engine, which has received many awards and certifications, including the industry leading certifications of ICSA, VirusBTN and Check mark.

The BitDefender is a new and innovative virus scanning engine, which has receive ICSA certification.

It is important to note that checking inbound mail with an anti virus engine is only a small part of GFI MailSecurity. You must setup content checking of inbound and outbound mail as well, in order to block email with scripts.
