Background Scan
– you can enable or disable the background scanning process
here. Background scanning is one of the features of the VSAPI 2.0/2.5
application interface. It provides threaded scanning of the Exchange Messaging
Databases. Whenever an item that has not been scanned with the latest AVG
virus base update is encountered in the users’ mailbox folders, it is submitted to
AVG for Exchange 2007 Server to be scanned. Scanning and searching for the
not examined objects runs in parallel.
A specific low priority thread is used for each database, which guarantees other
tasks (e.g. e-mail messages storage in the Microsoft Exchange database) are
always carried out preferentially.
·
Proactive Scan (incoming messages)
You can enable or disable the proactive scanning function of VSAPI 2.0/2.5 here.
This scanning occurs when an item is delivered to a folder, but a request has not
been made by a client.
As soon as messages are submitted to the Exchange store, they enter the global
scanning queue as low priority (maximum of 30 items). They are scanned on the
first in, first out (FIFO) basis. If an item is accessed while still in the queue, it is
changed to high priority.
Note:
Overflow messages will continue to the store unscanned.
Note:
Even if you disable both
Background Scan
and
Proactive Scan
options, the on
access scanner will be still active when an user will try to download a message with
the MS Outlook client.
