Selecting actions for dangerous
email objects
If a scan shows that an email or any of its parts (body, attachment) is infected or
suspicious, the steps taken by Mail Anti-Virus depend on the object status and
the action selected.
One of the following statuses can be assigned to the email object after the scan:
Malicious program status (for example,
virus, Trojan
–
for more details,
see 1.3 on pg. 12).
Potentially infected
, when the scan cannot determine whether the object
is infected. This means that the program detected a sequence of code
in the file from an unknown virus or modified code from a known virus.
By default, when Mail Anti-Virus detects a dangerous or potentially infected ob-
ject, it displays a warning on the screen and prompts the user to select an action
for the object.
To edit an action for an object:
open the application settings window and select
Mail Anti-Virus
under
Pro-
tection
. All possible actions for dangerous objects are listed in the
Action
box (see Figure 30).
