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.

Option definitions
Option Definition
Enable Select to scan the entire database in the background, after a virus outbreak. By default this option is disabled.
Schedule Schedule when to enable or disable background scanning.
Click Enable At to specify when to start background scanning.
Click Disable At to specify when to stop background scanning.
Schedule this during non-peak hours of the day or during weekends.
If you have not created a schedule, background scan starts whenever a DAT update occurs.
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.
Force Scan All Select to scan items irrespective of whether the item has an AV scan stamp or not.
Update Scan Stamp Select to update email messages with the latest AV stamp.
From Date To perform background scanning only on emails received from the date specified.
To Date To perform background scanning only on emails received until the date specified. Select Till Date to scan emails until the current system date.
