Anti-Virus protection begins to work after installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus and loading the Lotus Domino server. All application modules and protection components are loaded automatically when the server is launched. Kaspersky Anti-Virus performs the following actions by default:

  • Scans mail traffic. The following mail protection settings are used during scanning:
    • scan message body, attached files and OLE objects;
    • disinfect infected objects, skip protected and not scanned objects;
    • scan one object no longer than 120 seconds;
    • scan objects that are less than 1024 KB in size in the server's memory without saving them on the hard drive (object size can be configured in the notes.ini configuration file);
    • quarantine a copy of an infected object;
    • save information about detected objects and actions taken on them in the Event log and statistics database;
    • add a notification to the body of the original message.
  • Scans all new and modified documents following replication. During scanning the following replication protection settings are used:
    • scan RTF and MIME fields of documents, attached files and OLE objects;
    • disinfect infected objects, skip protected and not scanned objects;
    • scan one object no longer than 120 seconds;
    • scan objects that are less than 1024 KB in size in the server's memory without saving them on the hard drive (object size can be configured in the notes.ini configuration file);
    • quarantine a copy of an infected object;
    • save information about detected objects and actions taken on them in the Event log and statistics database;
    • send a notification about actions taken to administrators.
  • Saves information about Kaspersky Anti-Virus events in the Event log and statistics database and displays it on the Lotus Domino server console (the level of detail of information that is saved is set to standard). Information about events and statistical information about the results of scanning objects are stored in the Event log and statistics database for 30 days.
  • Starts anti-virus database updates every hour on a daily basis. The Kaspersky Lab servers are used as an update source.

Database scanning is disabled by default. The administrator can start the scan manually or configure a scheduled scan. By default, Kaspersky Anti-Virus uses the following database scan settings:

  • scan RTF and MIME fields of documents, attached files and OLE objects;
  • scan databases located in the root of the data directory (the directory containing all Lotus Domino server data) and in all its subdirectories;
  • exclude Quarantine database from scanning;
  • disinfect infected objects, skip protected and not scanned objects;
  • scan one object no longer than 120 seconds;
  • scan objects that are less than 1024 KB in size in the server's memory without saving them on the hard drive (object size can be configured in the notes.ini configuration file);
  • quarantine a copy of an infected object;
  • save information about detected objects and actions taken on them in the Event log and statistics database;
  • send a notification about actions taken to administrators.
