Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Proxy Server

Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Proxy Server protects all HTTP and FTP Internet traffic that passes though the proxy server.

The application provides security for users when working online and deletes malicious programs and worms that spread via instant messaging programs.

Functions

Protection from viruses, Trojans and spyware 

Real-time scanning of Internet traffic. The program detects and deletes all types of viruses, worms, Trojans and other malicious programs in traffic that passes through most types of proxy servers.

Choice of filtration parameters. The program includes a wide choice of filtration parameters (IP and URL addresses, MIME types and file size), which can be used to create individual scanning rules for different user groups.

Scanning of archived files. Kaspersky Anti-Virus provides the highest quality detection and treatment of viruses in any type of file or attachment. The program supports more than 70 formats for archivers (over 420 versions) and more than 260 types of compressed file formats (over 1,330 versions).

Detection of potentially harmful programs. Using the extended protection option, the application can detect and delete not only known malicious programs, but also potentially harmful programs (such as spyware).

Flexible administration 

Remote administration. The application can be administered remotely via the web interface or via a single configuration file.

Group security policies. The administrator can set individual traffic filtration rules for each user group, which defines permission rules in line with the corporate security policy and employee requirements.

User notifications. The program automatically blocks any infected objects and sends the user a notification in the form of an HTML page. The system administrator can configure the content, format and language of notifications.

Reports and statistics. The application can compile statistical reports to help administrators track virus activity and monitor the application’s performance.

Configurable update modes. Updates to antivirus databases and program modules are available on demand, automatically or on schedule. They can be downloaded directly from Kaspersky Lab servers via the Internet or from a local corporate server.

High reliability. Protection from memory leaks, hardware conflicts, input/output errors and critical system conflicts ensures fast and stable application performance.
