Chapter 4. Post-Installation Setup; Default Application Settings - KAPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS 5.5 - FOR LINUX-FREEBSD MAIL SERVERS Administrator's Manual

CHAPTER 4. POST-
INSTALLATION SETUP
During installation, the system onto which you install Kaspersky Anti-Virus is
analyzed and some of the application's configuration parameters are set
automatically to the most suitable values for the system (see section 4.1 on page
20).
Before you begin using the application, update the anti-virus databases if it has
not been done during the installation, and scan the server's file systems for
viruses.
To begin working with the program, you need to do the following:
•
Integrate Kaspersky Anti-Virus with the mail system installed on your
server (see section 4.4.5 on page 26).
•
Create a list of protected users whose mail will be scanned for viruses
and disinfected, if necessary (see section 5.4.1 on page 45).
In addition, you are advised to set up Kaspersky Anti-Virus for joint operation
with the Webmin package.
This chapter describes the default settings of Kaspersky Anti-Virus and takes a
look at the configuration required to use the application.
Examples further demonstrate paths typical for Linux distributions.

4.1. Default application settings

All the parameters of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux and FreeBSD are stored in
the default configuration file /etc/kav/5.5kav4mailservers.conf.
You can create your own configuration files.
Below you can find the default configuration file settings. Information about
additional settings that may be necessary to use the application are described in
another section (see Chapter 6 on page 49).
By default the Anti-Virus does not cure infected files: such files are deleted
without disinfection.
