1.1 Overview

CHAPTER 1 15
Introduction
Malicious code, such as computer viruses, is one of the main threats for companies today. In the past, malicious code spread mainly via disks and the most common viruses were the ones that infected disk boot sectors. When users began to use office applications with macro capabilities ­such as Microsoft Office - to write documen t s and distribu te them via mail and groupware servers, macro viruses started spreading rapidly.
After the millennium, the most common spreading mechanism has been the e-mail. Today about 90% of viruses arrive via e-mail. E-mails provide a very fast and efficient way for viruses to spread themselves without any user intervention and that is why e-mail worm outbreaks, like Sober, Netsky and Bagle, have caused a lot of damage around the world.
F-Secure Anti-Virus Mail Server and Gateway products are designed to protect your company's mail and groupware servers and to shield the company network from any malicious code that travels in HTTP or SMTP traffic. In addition, they protect your company network against spam. The protection can be implemented on the gateway level to screen all incoming and outgoing e-mail (SMTP), web surfing (HTTP and FTP-over-HTTP) and file transfer (FTP) traffic. Furthermore, it can be implemented on the mail server level so that it does not only protect inbound and outbound traffic but also internal mail traffic and public sources, such as public folders on Microsoft Exchange servers.
Providing the protection already on the gateway level has plenty of advantages. The protection is easy and fast to set up and install, compared to rolling out antivirus protection on hundreds or thousands of workstations. The protection is also invisible to the end users which ensures that the system cannot be by-passed and makes it easy to maintain. Of course, protecting the gateway level alone is not enough to provide a complete antivirus solution; file server and workstation level protection is needed, also.
Why clean 1000 workstations when you can clean one attachment at the gateway level?

1.2 How F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Works

F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is designed to detect and disinfect viruses and other malicious code from e-mail transmissions through Microsoft Exchange Server. Scanning is done in real time as the mail passes through Microsoft Exchange Server. On-demand scanning of user mailboxes and public folders is also available.

Up-to-date
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange scans attachments and message bodies for malicious code. It can also be instructed to remove particular attachments according to the file name or the file extension.
If the intercepted mail contains malicious code, F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange can be configured to disinfect or drop the content. Any malicious code found during the scan process can be placed in the Quarantine, where it can be further examined. Stripped attachments can also be placed in the Quarantine for further examination.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is installed on Microsoft Exchange Server and it intercepts mail traveling to and from mailboxes and public folders. The messages and documents are scanned with the scanning component, F-Secure Content Scanner Server, which also disinfects the infected messages.
functions, which means that the system administrator can specify a recipient, such as the network administrator, to be notified about the infection found in the data content.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange uses the award-winning F-Secure Anti-Virus techniques and scanning engines to ensure the highest possible detection rate and disinfection capability. The F-Secure Anti-Virus definition databases are upda ted typically multiple times a day and they provide F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange an always up-to-date protection capability.

Massive spam and virus outbreaks consist of millions of messages which share at least one identifiable pattern that can be used to distinguish the outbreak. Any message that contains one or more of these patterns can be assumed to be a part of the same spam or virus outbreak.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange can identify these patterns from the message envelope, headers and body, in any language, message format and encoding type. It can detect spam messages and new viruses during the first minutes of the outbreak.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange can be installed either in stand-alone or centrally administered mode. Depending on how it has been installed, F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is managed either with the F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Web Console or F-Secure Policy Manager.
F-Secure Policy Manager provides a scalable way to manage the security of multiple applications on multiple operating systems, from one central location. F-Secure Policy Manager is comprised of two components, F-Secure Policy Manager Console and F-Secure Policy Manager Server, which are used to administer applications. They are seamlessly integrated with the F-Secure Management Agents that handle all management functions on local hosts.
If F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is installed in stand-alone mode it can be managed with the web-based user interface.
If F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has been installed in centrally administered configuration, it is managed with F-Secure Policy Manager. With its graphical user interface, F-Secure Policy Manager Console provides a centralized view of the domains and hosts in your network, lets you configure the security policies for all F-Secure

components and set up scheduled scans and run manual scanning operations. F-Secure Policy Manager receives status information from F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.
F-Secure Policy Manager Server is the server side component that handles communication between F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange and F-Secure Policy Manager Console. It exchanges security policies, software updates, status information, statistics, alerts, and other information between F-Secure Policy Manager Console and all managed systems.
Figure 1-1 (1) E-mail arrives from the Internet to F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange, which (2) filters malicious content from mails and attachments, and (3) delivers cleaned files forward.

recommended to use Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008.
It is recommended to use Microsoft SQL Server if you are
planning to use centralized quarantine management with multiple F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange installations.
Note that the product does not support Windows Authentication
when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server. The Microsoft SQL Server that the product will use for the Quarantine database should be configured to use Mixed Mode authentication.
If you plan to use Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008, you must purchase it and obtain your own license before you start to deploy F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange. To purchase Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008, contact your Microsoft reseller.

3.2.2 Additional Windows Components

Depending on how you deploy the product to your network system, the following Windows components may be required:
Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 is required to install
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, and Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5 is required with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Edition.
If you plan to have Microsoft SQL Server on the same server, Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed before installing F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft .NET Framework can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center.
If you plan to install the product on Microsoft Windows 2000
platform, the latest Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC, version 2.8 or newer) have to be installed to the system before installing the product. The latest version of MDAC can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center.
Page 43

3.2.3 Web Browser Software Requirements

In order to administer the product with F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Web Console, one of the following web browsers is required:

Any other web browser supporting HTTP 1.0, SSL, javascripts and cookies may be used as well. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or earlier cannot be used to administer the product.

3.3 Improving Reliability and Performance

You can improve the system reliability and overall performance by upgrading the following components.
Processor If the system load is high, a fast processor on the Microsoft Exchange
Server speeds up the e-mail message processing. As Microsoft Exchange Server handles a large amount of data, a fast processor alone is not enough to guarantee a fast operation of F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.
CHAPTER 3 43
Installation
Memory Memory consumption is directly proportional to the size of processed
mails - scanning a single mail may use memory in amounts up to three times the size of the mail concerned. If the average size of mail messages is big, or Microsoft Exchange Server has to process large messages regularly , increasing the amo unt of physical memory increa ses the overall performance.
If large messages are processed only now and then, it might be enough to increase the size of the virtual memory. In this case, large messages will slow the system down.
Page 44
44
Hard Drive Hard drive size is an important reliability factor. Hard drive performance is
crucial for Microsoft Exchange Server to perform well. For best performance, a RAID system is recommended; for servers with only moderate load, SCSI hard disks are adequate. If your server has an IDE hard disk, DMA access support is recommended.
Operating
System
It is highly recommended to have the latest service packs for the operating system being used. These fixes make the platform more stable and thus increase the reliability of the system.

3.4 Centrally Administered or Stand-alone Installation?

F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange can be managed either with F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Web Console or F-Secure Policy Manager Console. You can select the management method when you install the product.
If you already use F-Secure Policy Manager to administer oth er F-Secure products, it is recommended to install F-Secure An ti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange in centralized administration mode.
The quarantined mails are managed using the F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Web Console in both centrally administered and stand-alone installations. In centrally managed environments all other features are managed with F-Secure Policy Manager.
Page 45

3.5 Installation Overview

F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange can be installed to the same computer that runs F-Secure Anti-Virus for Servers 8.0. You should uninstall any potentially conflicting products, such as other anti-virus, file encryption, and disk encryption software, which employ low-level device drivers, before you install F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.
If you run F-Secure Anti-Virus for Servers 8.0 on the same computer where you install F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange, make sure that F-Secure Anti-Virus for Servers 8.0 is installed before you install F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.

1. E-mail messages are considered internal if they come from internal SMTP sender hosts and mail recipients belong to one o f the specified internal domains (internal recipients).
2. E-mail messages are considered outbound if they come from internal SMTP sender hosts and mail recipients do not belong to the specified internal domains (external recipients).
3. E-mail messages that come from hosts that are not defined as internal SMTP sender hosts are considered inbound.
4. E-mail messages submitted via MAPI or Pickup Folder are treated as if they are sent from the internal SMTP sender host.
If e-mail messages come from internal SMTP sender hosts and contain both internal and external recipients, message s are split and processed as internal and outbound respectively.
If F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has been installed in the centralized administration mode, configure the mail direction with F-Secure Policy Manager Console. For more information, see “Network
Configuration”, 77.
If F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has been installed in stand-alone mode, configure the mail direction with F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Web Console. For more information, see “Network Configuration, 247.

Zero-Day Protection
Select whether Proactive Virus Threat Detection is enabled or disabled. Proactive virus threat detection can identify new and unknown e-mail
malware, including viruses and worms. When proactive virus threat detection is enabled, the product analyzes
e-mail messages for possible security threats. All possibly harmful messages are quarantined as unsafe.
Unsafe messages can be reprocessed periodically, as antivirus updates may confirm the unsafe message as safe or infected.
When proactive virus threat detection is disabled, mails are only scanned by antivirus engines.
Grayware Scanning
Specify how the pr oduct processes grayware items in inbound, outbound and internal messages.
Note that grayware scanning increases the scanning overhead. By default, grayware scanning is enabled for inbound messages only.
Grayware scanning is disabled when virus scanning is disabled.

Configure the Alert Forwarding table to specify where the alert is sent based on the severity level. The Alert Forwarding table can be found in: F-Secure Management Agent/Settings/ Alerting.
Using Keywords in Content Filtering
When the content filtering is enabled, all messages are checked against every keyword sequence that is specified in the selected list of keywords.
A keyword may contain any characters, including pu nctuation symbols, spaces, and other word separators. Keywords are case insensitive.
Page 96
96
You can use ‘?’ character in a keyword to match any character in that position in the keyword and ‘*’ to match any number of characters.
Keyword examples:
example Matches any message text or subject that
contains the word ‘example’.
another example Matches any message text or subject that
contains the ‘another example’ text. Words ‘another’ and ‘example’ have to be separated with exactly one space character.
co?p?rate Matches any message text or subject that
contains - for example - words ‘corporate’ or ‘cooperate’.
another*example Matches any message text or subject that
contains words ‘another’ and ‘example’ separated with any number of characters. For example, ‘another example’ or ‘another keyword example’.
To represent ‘?’ or ‘*’ characters themselves in keywords, use ‘\?’ and ‘\*’ sequences correspondingly. To represent ‘\’ character, use ‘\\’.
For example, to match the '*** SPAM ***' string, enter '\*\*\* spam \*\*\*'.
S pam Control
To change settings used when inbound messages are scanned for spam, see “Administering F-Secure Spam Control, 278.
The threat detection engine of F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange can identify spam and virus patterns from the message envelope, headers and body during the first mi nu tes of th e ne w s pam or virus outbreak.
You can configure Spam Control settings for inbound messages, and only if you have F-Secure Spam Control installed.

File Type Recognition
Select whether you want to use Intelligent File Type Recognition or not. Trojans and other malicious code can disguise themselves with filename
extensions which are usually considered safe to use. Intelligent File Type Recognition can recognize the real file type of the message attachment and use that while the attachment is processed.
Using Intelligent File Type Recognition strengthens the security , but can degrade the system performance.
Security Options
Configure security options to limit actions on malformed and suspicious messages.
