Configuring scanning of attached containers and archives
Kaspersky Security scans attached archives and containers by default. You can disable scanning of attachments or limit the nesting level of such objects to optimize the operation of Kaspersky Security, decrease the server load, and decrease mail traffic processing time. It is not recommended that you disable scanning of attachments for a long time, since they may contain viruses and other malicious objects.
To configure scanning of attached containers and archives:
Perform the following steps in the Management Console tree:
To configure scanning of attached containers and archives for an unassigned Security Server, maximize the node of the relevant Security Server
To configure scanning of attached containers and archives for Security Servers belonging to a profile, maximize the Profiles node and inside it maximize the node of the profile for whose Security Servers you want to configure scanning.
Select the Server protection node.
In the workspace, select the Advanced Anti-Virus settings tab.
Enable / disable scanning of attached containers and archives by performing one of the following actions:
If you want the application to scan such objects, select the Scan attached containers/archives check box.
If you want the application to ignore such objects, clear this check box.
If you want to limit the maximum allowed nesting level of archives and containers being scanned, select the Scan attached containers/archives with nesting level not higher than check box and specify the limit in the spin box.
Click the Save button.
If the application is running on a Microsoft Exchange DAG, the settings for scanning of attached containers and archives configured on one of the servers will be automatically applied to all servers within the DAG. Configuring scanning of attached containers and archives on other servers of the DAG is not necessary.
