Antivirus protection

Antivirus protection is enabled in firewall policies. When you enable antivirus

protection for a firewall policy, you select a content profile that controls how the

antivirus protection behaves. Content profiles control the type of traffic protected

(HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP), the type of antivirus protection and the treatment of

fragmented email and oversized files or email.

This chapter describes:

•General configuration steps

•Antivirus scanning

•File blocking

•Blocking oversized files and emails

•Exempting fragmented email from blocking

•Viewing the virus list

General configuration steps

Configuring antivirus protection involves the following general steps.

1Select antivirus protection options in a new or existing content profile. See “Adding a

content profile” on page 170.

2Select the Anti-Virus & Web filter option in firewall policies that allow web (HTTP),

FTP, and email (IMAP, POP3, and SMTP) connections through the FortiGate unit.

Select a content profile that provides the antivirus protection options that you want to

apply to a policy. See “Adding a content profile to a policy” on page171.

3Configure antivirus protection settings to control how the FortiGate unit applies

antivirus protection to the web, FTP, and email traffic allowed by policies. See:

•“Antivirus scanning” on page 232,

•“File blocking” on page 233,

•“Blocking oversized files and emails” on page 234,

•“Exempting fragmented email from blocking” on page 234.

4Configure the messages that users receive when the FortiGate unit blocks or deletes

an infected file. See “Customizing replacement messages” on page 136.

5Configure the FortiGate unit to send an alert email when it blocks or deletes an

infected file. See “Configuring alert email” in the Logging and Message Reference

Guide.

Note: To receive virus log messages, see “Configuring logging”, and for information about log

message content and format, see “Virus log messages” in the Logging Configuration and

Reference Guide
