Configuring Antivirus Protection Allow you to help protect your users from uploading or downloading files that contain viruses. When you enable the antivirus protection feature, files are checked for viruses when a user adds a document to a document library or list, or when a user views a document in a document library or list. If a virus is found, the scanner attempts to clean the file, or if the file cannot be cleaned, blocks the file from being added or viewed. If a file is uploaded, and is later identified as containing a virus, users will not be able to open the file. Users may still be able to save the file locally and open it from their computer. Must install WSS-compatible antivirus software.
