Norman Virus
Control for Lotus Domino
Latest
version published 2003.09.19 (Windows version)
Introduction
Most companies are
connected to the Internet, and email is a common
communication method. However, email has also been
the most common way for spreading malicious programs
(viruses, worms etc.).
The need for
scanning for malware on the email server is
therefore crucial. Norman Virus Control v5 (NVC v5)
for Lotus Domino is a virus scanner that integrates
with Lotus Domino to ensure that everything that
passes through the Domino server is checked for
viruses, trojans, and other malicious code.
Features of NVC v5
for Lotus Domino
Configuration
Configuration is
done within the Norman Configuration Editor. NVC v5
for Lotus Domino will add a component in Norman
Configuration Editor. Thus all Norman Virus Control
operation on the server can be handled through one
interface. Note that after changing your
configuration, it will take a couple of minutes
before the new settings take effect.
Scanning
All incoming and
outgoing e-mails are scanned on access. Documents
that contain file attachments will be scanned for
possible infections. Access is only granted to
virus-free items or when a present virus has been
removed. Infected documents can be cleaned, stopped,
stopped if not cleaned, or logged only, all
depending on user settings. NVC v5 for Lotus Domino
protects the three main entree points for viruses on
this platform using real-time scanning:
- E-mail
attachments
- Database
replication
- Database access
Updating virus
definition files and scanner engine through Norman
Internet Update
When updated virus
definition files, scanner engine, or NVC v5 modules
are available for download you should use Norman
Internet Update (unless you update from CD only).
You can configure NVC v5 to look for updates
automatically and by doing this, NVC v5 for Lotus
Domino updates itself dynamically and without any
user interaction.
Extensive logging
The NVC v5 for
Lotus Domino has numerous choices for logging. You
can use the Norman messaging system, which gives you
numerour options for output. A separate option will
also let NVC for Domino log to the Domino server
console and log. A special 'verbose' option
increases the amount of logging in case it becomes
necessary.
