Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange is a high performance scalable solution designed to protect
mail system users from malicious code. The application’s seamless
integration with the Microsoft Exchange Server ensures effective
detection and removal of viruses, creating a reliable barrier to their
penetration onto the corporate network.
Functions
Effective Antivirus Protection
Real time scanning of email messages. The
application scans incoming and outgoing messages for viruses in real
time. All message elements, such as attachments (including archived and
compressed), embedded OLE objects and attached messages are scanned.
Depending upon the application’s configuration, infected objects are
treated or deleted.
Antivirus scanning of email databases. The program
is capable of removing viruses from messages received prior to the
program’s installation and, after antivirus databases are updated, from
previously scanned messages. Such scanning can be performed in the
background or from time to time, according to a schedule set by the
administrator.
Virus outbreak prevention. The virus outbreak
recognition mechanism enables the administrator to take any necessary
measures to strengthen the antivirus protection of the mail server.
When the predefined virus activity threshold is reached the network
administrator is notified by email or via NetSend.
Backup copying of objects. Backup copying makes it
possible to restore information if an attempt to treat infected objects
results in an error and to send such objects for analysis to Kaspersky
Lab experts. User defined filters facilitate searching for objects in
the backup storage.
High Performance and Scalability
Performance optimization. The administrator can
configure the application based on traffic volume and type and the
hardware characteristics of the server (amount of RAM, performance,
number of CPUs, etc.). Up to eight different objects can be scanned in
parallel in RAM, each up to 1 MB.
Scalability. When running on multiprocessor
systems, the application is scaled according to the number of
processors installed on the server protected. Several copies of the
antivirus engine can be launched to increase the application’s
performance.
Flexible Administration
Ease of administration. The application is
administered using a plugin for Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
After installation the program runs with the optimal settings
recommended by Kaspersky Lab specialists. The administrator can
customize the application’s settings either locally or remotely.
Flexible reporting. Reports on the status of
antivirus protection are regularly generated based on predefined
templates either automatically or upon the administrator’s demand.
Logging of events in the Windows application log and the program’s own
logs provides complete diagnostics of Kaspersky Anti-Virus operation.
Automatic updates. The antivirus database and
program modules are updated automatically or on demand, over the
Internet, from dedicated Kaspersky Lab servers or from local update
servers.
