With the help of the Anti-Malware protection module, you can protect your company SharePoint Online sites against viruses, Trojans, worms, and other security threats.

The Anti-Malware module scans SharePoint Online files by using the latest version of anti-virus databases, the heuristic analyzer, and the Kaspersky Security Network cloud services.

In the default security policy, you can specify the Anti-Malware settings.

Actions to be taken by the application

In the Action area, specify what the application must do with files in which it detects malware:

• Delete and quarantine file

  Infected files are automatically deleted. At that, the original files are moved to Quarantine.

• Allow through

  The file remains unchanged in the original location.
