Working with Antivirus

The Antivirus program uses ClamAV, an open source and cross-platform Antivirus engine designed to detect malicious Trojan, virus, and malware threats. A single file or directory, or the whole system can be scanned. Infected file or files are logged and can be deleted or moved to a different location, as required.

You can use Antivirus to perform the following functions:

• Schedule the scans or run these on demand.
• Update the virus data signature or database files, or run the update on demand.
• View the logs generated for every virus found.

Simple user interfaces and standard configurations for both Web UI and CLI of the Appliance make viewing logs, running scans, or updating the virus signature file easy.

FIPS mode and Antivirus

If the FIPS mode is enabled, then the Antivirus is disabled on the appliance.
