Even if integration is not enabled, email communication is still protected by the email client protection module (POP3,
IMAP).
4.3.2.3.1 Email client protection configuration
The Email client protection module supports the following email clients: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows
Mail, Windows Live Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird. Email protection works as a plug-in for these programs. The main
advantage of the plug-in control is that it is independent of the protocol used. When the email client receives an
encrypted message, it is decrypted and sent to the virus scanner.
Email to scan
Received email – Toggles checking of received messages.
Sent email – Toggles checking of sent messages.

Action to be performed on infected email

Move email to the Deleted items folder – Infected emails will be moved automatically to the Deleted items folder.
Move email to folder – Specify the custom folder you wish to move the infected email to when detected.
Other
Repeat scan after update – Toggles rescanning after a virus signature database update.
Accept scan results from other modules – If this option is selected, the email protection module accepts scan results
of other protection modules.
4.3.2.4 Removing infiltrations
If an infected email message is received, an alert window will display. The alert window shows the sender name, email
and the name of the infiltration. In the lower part of the window the options Clean, Delete or Leave are available for
the detected object. In almost all cases, we recommend that you select either Clean or Delete. In certain situations, if
you wish to receive the infected file, select Leave. If Strict cleaning is enabled, an information window with no options
available for infected objects will displayed.
