Mail Anti-Virus
95
The actions taken by the email client when dangerous objects are de-
tected in emails. For example, you could select:
Try to cure infected parts
– tries to treat the infected email object, and
if the object cannot be disinfected, it stays in the email. Kaspersky
Anti-Virus will always inform you if an email is infected. But even if
you select
Delete
in the Mail Anti-Virus notice window, the object
will remain in the email, since the action selected in The Bat! takes
precedent over the actions of Mail Anti-Virus.
Remove infected parts
– delete the dangerous object in the email, re-
gardless of whether it is infected or suspected of being infected.
By default, The Bat! places all infected email objects in the Quarantine
folder without treating them.
Warning!
The Bat! does not mark emails containing dangerous objects with special head-
ers.
