Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Novell NetWare
2.3. Maintaining the antiviral
protection system
Maintenance of the server antiviral protection system involves the following
processes:
•
Reception and processing of virus detection messages
•
Regular checking of anti-virus database update reception and distribution
reports
An important factor that determines the quality of infected object detection by
anti-virus programs is completeness of their anti-virus database. The procedure
of searching and removing viruses is based on the records of the anti-virus
database, which stores descriptions of every virus known at the time along with
methods of cleaning objects infected by them.
Kaspersky Lab adds descriptions of new viruses to the anti-virus database daily
and places the updates on the Internet for downloading. It is recommended to
download these updates daily.
The anti-virus database versions must be the same on all the protected servers.
In order to save traffic, the update process can be set up in such a way that the
anti-virus database updates will be downloaded from the Internet by the “main"
server. All the other servers will receive the updates from the shared folder
located on the “main” server.
A server can receive updates only from the server located in the same
NDS tree. Therefore, it is necessary to create at least one server
responsible for updating the anti-virus database in every NDS tree
whose servers are to be protected from viruses.
