Kaspersky Anti-Virus 8.0 for Lotus® Domino® Maintenance Pack 4 (hereinafter also referred to as Kaspersky Anti-Virus) provides comprehensive anti-virus protection for Lotus Domino servers. Kaspersky Anti-Virus protects email traffic and replications and scans databases stored on the server.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus is installed on servers running under Microsoft® Windows® and Linux® operating systems. The application performs the following functions:

  • Scanning all incoming, outgoing and routed email messages on the Lotus Domino server. The following objects are scanned for threats:
    • Message text
    • Files attached to messages
    • OLE objects embedded in messages

    Kaspersky Anti-Virus detects malware objects inside attached archives and packed .exe files, except password-protected archives.

  • The application scans documents that are hosted on the protected server and modified as a result of replication. Outgoing replications are not scanned. The following objects are scanned for threats:
    • Field contents in Rich Text format
    • Field contents in MIME format
    • Files attached to a document
    • OLE objects embedded in documents
  • Scans of databases on the protected Lotus Domino server are performed by schedule or on demand. The following objects are scanned for threats:
    • Field contents in Rich Text format
    • Field contents in MIME format
    • Files attached to a document
    • OLE objects embedded in documents
  • Objects are filtered by size and name mask when scanning email messages, replications and databases. Filtered objects are processed according to rules set by the administrator.
  • The application processes infected, protected and not scanned objects detected while scanning email messages, replicated documents and database documents. Depending on the protection / scan settings, Kaspersky Anti-Virus cures, deletes or skips the object, notifies administrators of detected threats and processing results, and saves statistical information.
  • Senders and recipients of messages, as well as administrators, are notified about infected, protected, and not scanned objects that have been detected in messages and the actions taken on them.
  • Kaspersky Anti-Virus notifies administrators about dangerous objects detected when scanning replicated documents and database documents and about actions taken on them.
  • Saving scanned objects in the Quarantine database. Saved messages, documents detected during replication scanning, and also documents detected during database scanning are grouped by type (mail / replications / database scans).
  • Saving information about infected, protected, and not scanned objects and the actions taken on them. Information is saved in the Event log and statistics database and also displayed in the console of a Lotus Domino server. Information can be also saved to a text file (this option is disabled by default).
  • Anti-virus databases are updated via the Internet both automatically and manually. Kaspersky Lab HTTP update servers, FTP and HTTP servers containing update packages, and network shares can serve as update sources.
  • Managing Kaspersky Anti-Virus installed on several servers using profiles.
  • Access to Kaspersky Anti-Virus settings and control is restricted at the server and profile level.
  • Managing Kaspersky Anti-Virus via the Lotus Notes client, Lotus Domino console server and web browser.
  • The application can be installed or removed via the Lotus Notes client or web browser.
