The Anti-Virus section under the Security menu contains options to help you identify virus infected messages and prevent them from reaching your users. There are two items under the Anti-Virus section:

 

Virus Scanning - To offer an extensive level of virus protection, SecurityGateway includes two anti-virus engines: Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV™) and IKARUS Anti-Virus. ClamAV is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit designed especially for mail gateways. IKARUS Anti-Virus offers reliable protection from malicious and potentially hostile programs. It combines traditional anti-virus defense methods with the latest proactive technologies. SecurityGateway also includes Outbreak Protection, which offers an additional layer of protection against virus outbreaks.

Configure Updates - Because virus threats can emerge quickly, having an outdated database of virus signatures could cause a virus to be missed. Thus it is very important to update your virus signatures regularly. Use the options on the Configure Updates page to cause SecurityGateway to check for virus signature updates automatically, to force an immediate check for an update, and to view the anti-virus update logs.
