In the Policy name box, type a name for the virus policy.
This name appears on the Virus Policies page, and on the Virus tab when
configuring a Group Policy. Compliance, spam, and virus policy names must
be unique. For example, if you have a compliance policy called XYZ, you can't
have a spam or virus policy called XYZ.

Under Apply to, choose where this virus policy should be available:
■

■
Inbound and Outbound messages
This determines where this virus policy is available on the Virus tab when
configuring a Group Policy. For example, if you choose Inbound messages
and the mass-mailing worm condition on this page, this virus policy is only
available in the Inbound mass-mailing worm policy drop-down list when
configuring a Group Policy.

Under Conditions, select one of the following six conditions:
The message contains a virus.
If a message contains a
virus
The message contains a mass-mailing worm, a worm that
propagates itself to other systems via email, often by using
the address book of an email client program.
If a message contains a
mass-mailing worm
A message can be unscannable for viruses for a variety of
reasons. For example, if it exceeds the maximum file size
or maximum scan depth configured on the Scanning
Settings page, or if it contains malformed MIME
attachments, it may be unscannable. Compound messages
such as zip files that contain many levels may exceed the
maximum scan depth.
If a message is
unscannable for viruses
The message contains an attachment that cannot be
scanned because it is encrypted.
If a message contains an
encrypted attachment
The message contains an attachment that, according to
Symantec filters, may contain a virus or other threat.
If a message contains a
suspicious attachment
The message contains spyware or adware.
