McAfee Security for Microsoft Exchange 8.6.0
Background scan settings
Methodically scan the desired messages stored in a database. For each database, a thread running at below normal priority enumerates all the folders in the database and then requests MSME to scan the content as appropriate.

Only Messages With Attachment | Select to scan only email messages with attachments. This feature is useful if you are concerned about a specific virus that spreads through attachments. As the email messages having attachments are more vulnerable and have malicious content, any viruses or executables will be replaced in this task. Enabling this feature saves time, as MSME scans only emails with attachments. |

Only Un-Scanned Items | Select to scan email messages that are unscanned. Enable this in scenarios where you had Microsoft VSAPI disabled on the Mailbox server for sometime and want to scan the unscanned items. | ||||||||||
