CHAPTER 11.
KASPERSKY ANTI-
VIRUS MAIL CHECKER
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mail Checker for Microsoft Exchange Client Compatibles
(Kaspersky AV Mail Checker) is designed to protect users’ computers from
viruses that use Microsoft Outlook 98/2000/XP for sending and receiving mails.
The current version of Kaspersky AV Mail Checker is not compatible
with Outlook Express and TheBat!
The Kaspersky AV Mail Checker program performs the following functions:
•
Checks for viruses in all, the incoming and outgoing messages. The
program checks messages right after these arrived or were sent and it
searches for viruses in both message bodies and attached files.
Kaspersky AV Mai Checker also searches for viruses within embedded
archives, packed executable files, plain mail files and mail databases.
•
Checks for viruses in the messages stored in the local mailbox before the
Kaspersky AV Mail Checker program was installed. These messages are
checked when the user opens them.
•
Allows the user to disinfect infected attached files.
•
Kaspersky AV Mail Checker deletes infected objects from messages and,
if all elements of the message are infected, it deletes the entire message.
The anti-virus settings are defined from the program that is used for mail
processing.
While handling mounted mailboxes the program implements limited
features: it doesn’t check messages when these arrive to such
mailboxes. The messages are checked only when the user opens these
messages.
