ESET NOD32 A ntiviru s for MS Exchan ge Serv er

1. Introduction

ESET NOD32 Antivirus for MS Exchange Ser ver is ESET
NOD32 Antivirus version designed for scanning e-mail
trac routed by the MS Exchange Servers.

The major dierences between the ESET NOD32 Anti­virus 2.7 and the ESET NOD32 Antivirus for MS Exchange
Server include a module XMON and the absence of IMON
and EMON modules.

This document describes the XMON module. Before
reading this document, please read the ESET NOD32 Anti­virus 2.7 user guide rst.

As of version 2.71, the XMON module provides antivi­rus protection for MS Exchange Server in two avors – a
32-bit for MS Exchange Server 5.5 SP3 and higher, 2000
SP 1 and higher and 2003 (xmon.dll), and a 64-bit for MS
Exchange Server 2007 (xmon64.dll).

The XMON module checks the MS Exchange Ser ver e­mail communication via its antivirus interface VSAPI or
external Control Center scanning core.

2. Installation

If you are running any previous version of the ESET
NOD32 Antivirus for Exchange Server, the new one can be
installed over (if it is version 2.0 or higher).

The installation wizard will help you to install the
NOD32 for MS Exchange Server. It displays the following
dialog:

kbox. To activate the XMON ser vice, you need the license
le provided by the provider or distributor upon purchase
of the program.

The license le is entered in the next step. If your Li-

cense le is valid, click Add and list the license le.

This screen is present in all installation scenarios.

Additional Activation of XMON:

If you have not activated the antivirus protection for
MS Exchange server, you can do it additionally by adding
the license le in the License manager. For License mana­ger click on ESET NOD32 Antivirus system tools in the ESET
NOD32 Antivirus Control Center and choose ESET NOD32
Antivirus system setup/ setup. After adding the license
le, XMON will be activated.

If you want to install XMON, check the Ac tivate an-

tivirus protection for MS Exchange Server (XMON) chec-

3. XMON

The Main Window

To open the XMON main window, click on the XMON
icon in the Control Center window. If the XMON is displa­yed in grey color, the MS Exchange Server is not present
on the local computer or the MS Exchange server version
is not supported by XMON. XMON is displayed in grey co­lor also if the XMON module is not activated (it is not set,
or the license le has expired). In these cases XMON can­not scan e-mails. If the XMON is displayed in red color; the
XMON module is not active. To activate the XMON, check
the Activate Control checkbox in the main window.

The main XMON window shows the number of scan­ned, infected and cleaned les (a le is each e-mail mess­age and its attachments). The main window also displays
MS Exchange version running on the local server and the
virus signature database version (with the date of the last
update in the parentheses).

Before XMON deactivation you will be requested to
conrm its shutdown. If you really want to turn o XMON,
press Yes.

Note: MS Exchange Server communicates with the antivirus scan

using the system database registry which is being checked
in approximately one minute intervals Turning XMON on and
o as well as any change in the settings will take about a
minute to take eect

SETTINGS

The left part of the XMON Settings window shows
eight possible setting areas of XMON. The setting para­meters in each setting area are shown in the right part
of the window.

The MS Exchange server checks the settings of the
XMON module each minute, so the new XMON settings
come into eect after a few seconds.

Scanner

• Active control – check box for XMON activation.
To activate the XMON, mark the check box. To disable it,
uncheck it. Before XMON deactivation you will be reques­ted to conrm its shutdown.

• Settings – enables you to alter the default XMON
settings

• Run NOD32 – activates the NOD32 on−demand
scanner

The Scanner page shows the following properties:

• Background scanning – if checked, all the mess­ages are scanned in the background. XMON keeps track of
what messages it scanned and the version of virus data­base it used. If you are opening a message not scanned
by the most current virus database, XMON scans it before
opening it in your e-mail client. The background testing
means that XMON keeps scanning all the messages from
