• Managing the application. Module initiates scans of mail and replications, runs scans of databases and scheduled updates of anti-virus databases.
• Managing application settings. The module receives and applies new values of settings.
• Saving and analyzing statistics. Module logs statistical information and information about operational events in the Event log and statistics database and sends notifications to administrators.
• Notice. This module sends email notifications about infected, protected, and not scanned objects detected during a scan.
• Application licensing. This module is responsible for activating the application, analyzing licensing information, applying and deleting key files.

Mail and replication scan module

This module performs anti-virus scanning of email messages and replications.

Database scan module
