Overview of functions
AntiVir SharePoint is an anti-virus solution specially developed for Microsoft SharePoint
and supports both Microsoft SharePoint Services and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server
2003.
Microsoft SharePoint technologies provide users with documents of a company at a
central point and manage these with a version control. Documents are accessed via a web
desktop – the SharePoint Team pages - via upload and download. The documents or files
are stored centrally in an MS SQL database. This represents a serious security problem,
as the data cannot be protected against virus protection with a conventional anti-virus
solution such as an on-demand or on-access virus scanner: on-demand and on-access
virus scanners require the data to be scanned to be available as files in the file system.
AntiVir SharePoint scans documents for viruses and malware when uploading and
download to and from the SharePoint Team pages. In the event of a virus detection,
transfer is prevented if a repair of the document is not possible.
