Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
for Microsoft ISA Server
(hereafter, also
Kaspersky
Anti-Virus
®

) is a system of anti-virus control for files transferred
using the HTTP and FTP protocols via the Microsoft Internet Security and
Acceleration Server. It ensures reliable protection of corporate networks from
penetration by malicious software.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
for MS ISA Server acts as a filter that intercepts packets
transferred via the HTTP and FTP protocols, isolates controlled objects from this
data, analyzes them for the presence of viruses, and prevents infected files and
Web documents from penetrating into a corporate network.
The program includes data stream filters and the anti-virus kernel.
The filters are integrated into MS ISA Server as plug-ins, and the anti-virus kernel
is installed into the system as a service.
The anti-virus protection is managed through a special interface built into the ISA
administration snap-in for Microsoft Management Console (MMC) as an
extension.
The application performs the following functions:

Internet.
•
Generation of data streams from disinfected files and the delivery of these

•
Logging of statistics about program performance and displaying the
results using standard Windows tools.
