IMON
While the role of AMON is to provide real-time, resident, anti-virus
monitoring of a system and user actions, the IMON module protects your
computer from email and internet threats. To allow scanning of POP3 email
and while also using the internet, we recommend having IMON enabled.
IMON’s primary role is to monitor incoming email. There is virtually no setup
necessary since this module works with all email programs. IMON works on
the winsock level (operating system level). Again, the default settings are
recommended, but there are a couple of items you may want to look at: You
may not want IMON to append a message at the bottom of every email that
your clients receive, so this can be changed to only infected emails or no
notification at all.
Also, you may have reason to want certain applications excluded from
IMON’s scanning, so the program(s) can be added to an exclusion list here.
IMON’s Scanner is generally setup to optimum performance but in the
areas titled ‘If an alert is generated’ and also ‘If cleaning cannot be
performed’ the default setting is to Prompt the user to take some action
in both cases. However, you may prefer to have ‘Files’ cleaned as the
first action and if that cannot be performed to have them deleted. This is
merely an example of the various choices you have, not a recommendation
necessarily.
