Norman Virus Control for Lotus Domino

Introduction

Most companies are connected to the Internet, and email is a common communication method. However, email has also been the most common way for spreading malicious programs (viruses, worms etc.).

The need for scanning for malware on the email server is therefore crucial. Norman Virus Control v5 (NVC v5) for Lotus Domino is a virus scanner that integrates with Lotus Domino to ensure that everything that passes through the Domino server is checked for viruses, trojans, and other malicious code.

Features of NVC v5 for Lotus Domino

Configuration

Configuration is done within the Norman Configuration Editor. NVC v5 for Lotus Domino will add a component in Norman Configuration Editor. Thus all Norman Virus Control operation on the server can be handled through one interface. Note that after changing your configuration, it will take a couple of minutes before the new settings take effect.

Scanning

All incoming and outgoing e-mails are scanned on access. Documents that contain file attachments will be scanned for possible infections. Access is only granted to virus-free items or when a present virus has been removed. Infected documents can be cleaned, stopped, stopped if not cleaned, or logged only, all depending on user settings. NVC v5 for Lotus Domino protects the three main entree points for viruses on this platform using real-time scanning:

  • E-mail attachments
  • Database replication
  • Database access
Updating virus definition files and scanner engine through Norman Internet Update

When updated virus definition files, scanner engine, or NVC v5 modules are available for download you should use Norman Internet Update (unless you update from CD only). You can configure NVC v5 to look for updates automatically and by doing this, NVC v5 for Lotus Domino updates itself dynamically and without any user interaction.

Extensive logging

The NVC v5 for Lotus Domino has numerous choices for logging. You can use the Norman messaging system, which gives you numerous options for output. A separate option will also let NVC for Domino log to the Domino server console and log. A special 'verbose' option increases the amount of logging in case it becomes necessary.
