Scanners and filters
Policy Manager has core scanners, filters and miscellaneous settings for different
types of policies (submenu items). The different scanning types in GroupShield for
Exchange are:
On-Access — to create policies for email messages every time they are opened,
copied or saved to determine if they contain a virus or other potentially unwanted
code. On-access scanning is also called real-time scanning.
On-Demand (Default) — to create policies that are activated at set intervals or on
demand, to find a virus or other potentially unwanted code.
On-Demand (Find Viruses) — to create policies that are activated at set intervals or on
demand, to find a virus or other Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) and other
possible threats.
On-Demand (Remove Viruses) — to create policies that are activated at set intervals or
on demand, and which remove viruses, Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) and
other possible threats.
On-Demand (Find Banned Content) — to create policies that are activated at set intervals
or on demand, to find a banned content that you do not want to appear in email
messages.
On-Demand (Remove Banned Content) — to create policies that are activated at set
intervals or on demand, and which remove content that you do not want to appear
in email messages. For example, if an email message contains a particular word or
phrase, you can set up a policy to automatically replace the content of that email
message with an alert message. You can use this type of policy to prevent
unwanted information entering or leaving your organization.
On-Demand (Full Scan) — to create policies that are activated at set intervals or on
demand.
Gateway — to create policies for email messages every time they are opened, copied
or saved to determine if it is a spam, phish, MIME files or HTML files.
