The vast majority of viruses and worms in the wild today send e-mail to infect other machines. While some of these viruses use a built-in SMTP server, many of them rely on the SMTP server set in e-mail programs such as Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express to send their virus payload. 602LAN SUITE Anti-virus Edition can help you monitor and prevent the spread of viruses on your network.

Block infected outgoing messages

602LAN SUITE Anti-virus Edition will block outgoing messages that are infected to help prevent further infection. This is accomplished by setting the Anti-virus options in 602LAN SUITE to block these messages:

1. Open 602LAN SUITE, click Settings and then click Advanced Configuration.
2. Click the Anti-virus tab.
3. Click the If outgoing message is infected tab.
4. Configure the options as you would like. Click Save when satisfied with the changes.

Notify an Administrator when a computer is sending a virus

602LAN SUITE Anti-virus Edition can also be configured to send a copy of the virus notification to Administrators, which makes identifying an infected system as easy as reading an e-mail. To configure this option, do the following:

1. Open 602LAN SUITE, click Settings and then click Advanced Configuration.
2. Click the Anti-virus tab.
3. Click the If outgoing message is infected tab.
4. Click to add a checkmark to the Send a notification to administrator(s) checkbox.
5. Click Save to save your settings.

Now, when a virus is sent through 602LAN SUITE from a computer on your network, all Administrators will receive a copy of the virus notification, which includes the originating e-mail address.
