Outlook Mail Scan
When the Mail Scan tab displays on the client console, client users can immediately
configure Outlook mail scan settings and then run Manual Scan to scan Microsoft
Outlook email messages and attachments for viruses/malware.
Note: Outlook mail scan does not scan for spyware/grayware.
Outlook mail scan is a user-initiated scan, which means that scanning only occurs when
users run Manual Scan from the Mail Scan tab. It does not scan email messages in real
time and cannot be configured to run automatically based on a schedule.
POP3 Mail Scan
POP3 mail scan checks email messages and attachments for viruses/malware in real
time, that is, as email messages are downloaded from the POP3 mail server. To display
the POP3 mail scan configuration options on the Mail Scan tab, go to Networked
Computers > Client Management > Settings > Privileges and Other Settings >
Other Settings tab and select Scan POP3 email.
Note: POP3 mail scan does not scan for spyware/grayware.
POP3 mail scan only scans email messages in real time. Users cannot launch scanning
manually from the client console and scanning cannot be configured to run
automatically based on a schedule.
You cannot configure the action OfficeScan performs on viruses/malware from the
Web console. Users configure the action on the client console.
The POP3 mail scan program shares the OfficeScan NT Proxy Service (TMProxy.exe)
with the Web reputation program.
