Antivirus protection is enabled in firewall policies. When you enable antivirus
protection for a firewall policy, you select a content profile that controls how the
antivirus protection behaves. Content profiles control the type of traffic protected
(HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP), the type of antivirus protection and the treatment of
fragmented email and oversized files or email.
This chapter describes:
