Virus Types Page
The Email > Reporting > Virus Types page provides an overview of the viruses that are sent to and from your network. The Virus Types page displays the viruses that have been detected by the virus scanning engines running on the Email Security appliances and are displayed on the Security Management appliance. Use this report to take action against a particular virus. For example, if you see that you are receiving a high volume of viruses known to be embedded in PDF files, you can create a filter action to quarantine messages with PDF attachments.
Note | Outbreak Filters
can quarantine these types of virus-infected messages with no user
intervention.
|
If you run multiple virus scanning engines, the Virus Types page includes results from all enabled virus scanning engines. The name of the virus that appears on the page is determined by the virus scanning engines. If more than one scanning engine detects a virus, it is possible to have more than one entry for the same virus.
