CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.5 for Novell NetWare
is an anti-virus application
designed to protect LAN file servers running the Novell NetWare operating
system.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.5 has the following functions:
•
Real-time server protection
– scans all the files started or modified on
the server, then disinfects and/or deletes infected objects.
•
On-demand server scans
– successively scans the files on the server
on user’s demand or according to a schedule with user-specified
frequency. The anti-virus application can disinfect and/or delete infected
objects.
•
Anti-virus database updating
– updates the anti-virus database used to
search for viruses, and distributes the downloaded updates to other
servers on the Novell NetWare network. The database can be scheduled
for automatic updating. The application will download the latest updates
via the Internet or the LAN and distribute these among the specified
servers. Prior to updating the anti-virus database on a server the program
will back up all the files being modified, thus making it possible to revert to
the latest update if necessary.
•
Quarantine
– moves infected or suspicious files to a special storage
location called ‘quarantine’. Quarantined files can be analyzed by the
administrator or sent to the Kaspersky Lab for examination.
•
Event log keeping
– creates detailed logs and writes the results of the
on-demand server scanning, real-time protection and anti-virus database
updating. The logs can be viewed and printed.
•
Backup
– saves backup copies of any suspicious or infected files prior to
disinfecting or deleting them. This makes it possible to restore the data in
the event of disinfection, deletion failure or error.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.5 for Novell NetWare is based on client-server
architecture. Its server part consists of two modules:
Kaspersky Anti-Virus,
dealing with anti-virus functionality, and
Anti-Virus database updater,
responsible for updating the anti-virus database and application modules. The
client part consists of
Snapin for ConsoleOne
and a
web module
that provide
the user interface for the application administrative services and enable the user
to install the application, set it up, and manage the server part.
