Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0

Configuring email processing in
Microsoft Office Outlook
If you use Microsoft Office Outlook as your email client, you can set up custom
configurations for virus scans.
A special plug-in is installed in Microsoft Office Outlook when you install Kas-
persky Anti-Virus. It can quickly access Mail Anti-Virus settings, and also set the
maximum time that individual emails will be scanned for dangerous objects.
The plug-in comes in the form of a special
Mail Anti-Virus
tab located under
Service
Options
(see Figure 27).
Select an email scan mode:
Scan upon receiving
–
analyzes each email when it enters your Inbox.
Scan when read
–
scans each email when you open it to read it.
Scan upon sending
–
scans each email for viruses when you send it.
Warning!
If you use Microsoft Office Outlook to connect to your email service on IMAP, you
are advised not to use
Scan upon receiving
mode. Enabling this mode will
lead to emails being copied to the local computer when delivered to the server,
and consequently the main advantage of IMAP is lost
– creating less traffic and
dealing with unw
anted email on the server without copying them to the user‟s
computer.
The action that will be taken on dangerous email objects is set in the Mail Anti-
Virus settings, which can be configured by following the click here link in the
Sta-
tus
section.
