Anti-Virus Configuration Example

Before enabling Anti-Virus, make sure the security appliance has already been installed with a corresponding Anti-Virus license.

This section describes an Anti-Virus configuration example. The security appliance with this example configured can:

• Scan Emails and its attachments, and display the Anti-Virus result in the emails. The Emails are transferred over SMTP and POP3, and the attachments may contain .exe and .jpeg files.
• Scan compressed files. RAR-compressed files contain .jpeg files, and all the compressed files are transferred over FTP.

Take the following steps:

Step 1: Configure a Anti-Virus rule, and specify the protocols and file types that will be scanned.

1. On the Navigation pane, click Configure > Security >Anti-Virus to visit the Anti-Virus page.
2. Click New. In the Anti-Virus Rule Configuration dialog, configure the options as below:
   • Rule name: email-scan
   • Binding zone: trust
   • Protection type: User-defined
   • File types: PE, JPEG, MAIL
   • Protocol types: FTP, POP3, SMTP. Select Fill magic from the drop-down list behind.
   • Enable label email: Select this check box, and type Checked by Mail AntiVirus into the box behind.
     
3. Click OK to save your settings.

Step 2: Check the status of Anti-Virus. If this function is disabled, take the following steps to enable it, and reboot the system to make it take effect.

1. On the Navigation pane, click Configure > Security >Anti-Virus to visit the Anti-Virus page.
2. On the Task tab in the right pane, select the Enable check box for Anti-Virus in the AV Global Configuration section.
3. Click OK to save your changes.
