Processing objects and actions taken on them

Kaspersky Anti-Virus processes objects in accordance with their assigned status after attachment filtering and anti-virus scanning. Uninfected objects are returned without any modifications to the Lotus Domino server databases (the replication protection and database scan components) or to the Lotus Domino mail system (the mail protection component). The following actions can be taken on the remaining objects:

• Disinfect. Kaspersky Anti-Virus disinfects the object on the basis of information in the anti-virus databases about the threat detected. As a result, the threat is neutralized and the object is classified as uninfected and stored in the database by its source address or returned to the mail system. This action applies to infected objects only.

  OLE objects are not disinfected. Kaspersky Anti-Virus deletes infected OLE objects.

• Skip. Kaspersky Anti-Virus returns the object to the databases of the Lotus Domino server or to the mail system of the server without any modifications.
• Delete. Kaspersky Anti-Virus deletes the object from a document or email message.

Actions to be taken by the application are defined separately for each status of the object in the mail protection, replication protection and database scanning settings.

A copy of an object can be saved in the Quarantine database before it is processed. Information about actions taken can be stored in the Event log and statistics database.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus can notify administrators and email senders and recipients (mail protection) about detected objects and actions applied to them.
