Using Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
35
If a client is a member of several groups, it is scanned for viruses using settings
for the group with the mildest rules of anti-virus protection.
An example is a client belonging both to the
Accountant Department
group for
which these chunks of data are scanned, and to the
Administrators
group for
which these chunks of data are excluded from scanning. In this case, an anti-
virus scan of this client will be performed with the settings for the
Administrators
group.
In the present version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
, clients are defined by their IP
address or a group of IP addresses. Clients with a specified IP address can be
computers with pre-set network services and static IP addresses, for example,
mail servers. For network clients that do not have static IP addresses, you can
create one client and specify the subnet address and subnet mask.
To switch to the list of groups, Select
Manage groups
in the Kaspersky Anti-
Virus
®
main window (Figure 7). The
Manage groups of Kaspersky Anti-Virus
clients
dialog box will appear on your screen (Fig. 14).
A similar action is invoked when you click the
Groups
node in the server tree.
The administrator can rename existing groups, change their descriptions, create
new groups, and delete old groups.
