The Virus Scan feature is capable of providing real-time detection of viruses/malware,
spyware/grayware, real-time compressed executable files (packer viruses), and files
containing
malicious macro code. With the exception of Macro Scan, IM Security utilizes pattern files to detect
threats. Macro Scan supplements regular virus scans and employs heuristic scanning
to detect
macro viruses and other security risks.
When enabled, Virus Scan for file transfers continually protects your instant
messaging and Lync/Skype for Business Server environments from potential security
risks in
incoming and outgoing files.
