Kaspersky Anti-Virus 4.00.02 for Novell NetWare (Kaspersky AV) is an anti-
virus software package consisting of various modules (see table) that provide a
high protection level for corporate networks running under Novell NetWare.
Kaspersky AV's implementation is based on a client-server technology. Server
side consists of two modules—Kaspersky Scanner and Kaspersky Updater,
The first module, Kaspersky Scanner, comprises functions of an anti-virus filter
and scanner, that is, it enables users to check files when they are opened or
copied, and provides an opportunity to check objects on demand or on certain
schedule. The second module, Kaspersky Updater, provides an Internet-based
updating. It allows the anti-virus databases used when searching for viruses to be
renewed, and the updated version is expanded over all the protected servers
1
of
the network. Kaspersky Updater can be configured for automatic scheduled
updating; moreover, the program will receive the latest updates via Internet or a
local network and distribute them to Kaspersky AV servers.

Figure 1 displays the situation when the first Update server retrieves
anti-virus database updates via the Internet and then sends them to the
first three Kaspersky AV servers. The second Update server retrieves
updates from the network folder (saved here by the first server) and
sends them to the rest of the Kaspersky AV servers.
Client side is represented by two back-end control modules — NetWare Administrator (NWAdmin) module and similar ConsoleOne module. Both
Kaspersky AV control modules allow users
• to configure Kaspersky Scanner options,
• to schedule program launching and define file checking options,
• to perform remote program loading /unloading,
• to start manual scanning and view checking results,
• to specify the mode for transferring warning messages to the
administrator's computer—for example, messages about detected
viruses present on the protected servers and/or switching an
infected workstation off the local network.
Furthermore, ConsoleOne control module has the following additional options:
• setting Kaspersky Updater module;
• performing batch operations with servers, including install/uninstall
operations, loading/unloading Kaspersky Scanner, etc.
• ability to operate a control module both on a workstation and a
server.
In contrast to ConsoleOne control module, NWAdmin control module:
• supports manual updating via Internet and does not support
automatic anti-virus bases updating via Internet,
• doesn't allow batch operations with servers (anti-virus base batch
updating on multiple servers is not available),
• works only on workstations.
The software package is equipped with an easy-to-use installation program that
installs the product on a server and records all options in NDS.

ConsoleOne only.)
Kaspersky AV servers located in the NDS tree can receive updates only
from the Update server which is located in the same NDS tree.
Therefore, for each NDS tree with servers subject to anti-virus
protection at least one Update server should be created. One and the
same computer can be a Kaspersky AV server and an Update server as
well. (For ConsoleOne only.)
Supporting the created anti-virus protection server system consists in the
following:
• receiving and processing messages about the viruses found and
• regular checkout of the reports on receiving and distributing

In searching for viruses, in all operating modes, Kaspersky Scanner uses antivirus bases which currently enable users to detect and delete all known types of
viruses. Anti-virus bases are constantly enlarged and updated (on updating, see
Chapter 4 on page 66 and Chapter 5 on page 99).

Filter mode scanning (in a real-time mode) provides an automatic checking ("on
the fly" checking) of the files on a server that are accessed from the workstation
or other network servers. Filter mode serves as the main operating mode of
Kaspersky Scanner and is activated immediately after Kaspersky Scanner
module is loaded on a server.
Page 34
34 Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Novell NetWare
Kaspersky Scanner checks all the files before they are launched or opened,
allowing the viruses to be detected and disinfected before their expansion.
Filter mode scanning slightly slows the server operation. Thus, it is not
recommended to switch on archive unpacking in the filter mode.
If infected or "suspicious" files are detected using the heuristic analyzer, the
program will perform certain actions (for configuring the actions to be taken with
infected or suspicious files, see 3.6.5 on page 44).
Reports on filter mode scanning can be viewed in the result log.
33..55..33.. OOnn--ddeemmaanndd SSccaannnniinngg
When on-demand scanning mode is on, Kaspersky Scanner functions like an
anti-virus scanner—It goes down the subdirectory tree searching for infected
files. The virus-searching engine is activated manually by the network
administrator from the Kaspersky Scanner item window. Then, Kaspersky
Scanner goes down the subdirectory tree of specified server volumes and checks
files specified in options. If infected or "suspicious" files are detected (using the
heuristic analyzer), the program will perform certain actions (for configuring
actions to be taken with infected or suspicious files, see 3.6.5 on page 44). Upon
scanning completion, you can view the log of scanning results.
For NWAdmin control module:
• to start on-demand scanning, use the Kaspersky Scanner control
window on the Scan tab page of the Manual Scanning page. To
start scanning, click the Start Scan button.
For ConsoleOne control module:
• to start on-demand scanning, use the Kaspersky Scanner control
window on the Statistics tab page. To start scanning, mark the View Manual Statistics checkbox and then click Start Scan.
Here, you need to specify a scanning path in the Path for scan window.
Before you start scanning, make sure the NLM module is loaded. Status of the
Load NLM button on the About page indicates the presence of NLM module in
the memory. If this button is active, the module hasn't been loaded. To load the
module, click this button.
After that, the process of scanning specified files in the selected directory will
start. This process is indicated on the screen in the form of a moving flashlight.
Page 35
Anti-Virus Protection for Servers 35
If infected or "suspicious" (resembling viruses) files are detected (using the
heuristic analyzer), the program will perform certain actions (for configuring
actions to be taken with infected or suspicious files, see 3.6.5 on page 44).
The checking statistics is constantly updated during the scanning
process. You can abort scanning at any moment. To do this, click
Stop. A record registering the interruption of on-demand scanning
will appear in the result log.
33..55..44.. SScchheedduulleedd SSccaannnniinngg
When the scheduled scanning mode is on, Kaspersky Scanner performs the
same actions as in the on-demand scanning mode—going down the directory
tree searching for infected files with the only difference of automatic activation of
the virus search scheduled in settings (see 3.6.8 on page 52). Files to check are
specified there, too. If infected or "suspicious" (resembling viruses) files are
detected (using the heuristic analyzer), the program performs certain actions (for
configuring actions to be taken with infected or suspicious files, see 0 on
page 44).
Results for scheduled scanning are registered in the scanning result log.
The scheduled scanning mode is activated immediately after AVKernel
module is loaded on the server.
If required, the scheduled scanning mode can be turned off (see 3.6.8
on page 52).
Scan area for scheduled scanning is specified the same way as for ondemand scanning.
While working with Novell ConsoleOne, the Kaspersky Scanner control module
window appears when selected in the context menu of the Properties item.
While working with Netware Administrator, you can access Kaspersky Scanner
control module by double clicking on the Kaspersky Anti-Virus item or by
choosing Details in this item's context menu.

executable modules, see 3.6.3.6 on page 43), mark the Packed Executables checkbox.
5. If you want to scan mail bases, mark the Mail Bases checkbox.
6. To scan mail format files, mark the Plain Mail Formats checkbox.
You can enable the heuristic file checking mode (see 3.6.3.4 on
page 41) to detect viruses unknown to the program (not included in the
anti-virus databases).
To do this, mark the Enable Code Analyzer checkbox.
You can enable the heuristic file scanning using the Enable Code Analyzer
(enable the heuristic analyzer) checkbox. To enable/disable the heuristic
analyzer for the filter mode, turn to the Real-Time Scanning tab page, to
enable/disable analyzer for the on-demand and scheduled scanning, use the
Manual Scanning tab page.
Heuristic analyzer (Code Analyzer) checks file and sector codes in different
branches of the Kaspersky Scanner algorithm for the purpose of detecting any
virus-like instructions. If the heuristic analyzer detects such a combination of
commands as file opening or saving into file, interception of interrupt vectors,
etc., the file in check is considered "suspicious" and the corresponding message
appears (see 3.6.9.1.2 on page 60).
Of course, like any other algorithm of this type, this analyzer may occasionally
produce false alarms. However, it was tested on a large number of files and in result,
no real false operations have been recorded. If you encounter some false alarms on
virus-free files, please send these files for analyzing to Kaspersky Labs Ltd.
Page 42

Performing code scanning, the heuristic analyzer checks a variety of branches
constituting the program algorithm (including several sublevels). This mechanism
detects about 92% of viruses (including a lot of encrypted viruses) registered in
Kasperky Labs Ltd. virus databases, so we assume that new unknown viruses
will be found with the same degree of probability.
You can enable archive extracting engine using the Archives checkbox.
Archive extracting engine (Extracting Engine) is designed for searching viruses in
files packed in archives (ZIP, ARJ, LHA and RAR). When this archive extracting
engine is disabled, archives are checked as ordinary files (in this case only those
viruses that infected the archives themselves are found).
The current version of Extracting Engine contains the codes used for unpacking
ARJ, ZIP, LHA и RAR archives (existing versions).
Detecting viruses in archives is a very important task since a virus
can be stored in a packed file for several months or even years
without producing any harm, but then, at a sudden moment, it can
spread rapidly causing much trouble. Archives stored in BBS
present a special hazard.
Using the archive extracting engine, Kaspersky Scanner detects viruses in
archived files and reacts with corresponding messages.
The archive extracting engine cannot unpack password-protected
archives.
Kaspersky Scanner detects viruses in archives rather than deletes them
from these archives. To delete viruses, unpack the archive, delete
viruses from the infected files, delete the old archive and pack (this time
clean) files again.
Extracting Engine unpacks files from archives into temporary files and transfers
them to the main module for checking. After checking is completed, temporary
files are deleted.
Temporary files are stored in the working directory. You can specify a
path to this directory (see 3.6.7.1 on page 50).
You can enable executable module unpacking engine using the Packed
Executable checkbox. Being enabled, Kaspersky Scanner can start detecting
and deleting viruses from packed executable files.
Packed executable files contain a special unpacking module. When this
file is started, at first the main program is unpacked in RAM and only
then it is being executed.
Infected files can be packed the same way as any virus-free files. In
standard scanning, these infected files will be determined as noninfected since the virus body is packed with the program code.
With the unpacking executable modules engine enabled, files that have been
packed by various versions of the most popular utilities: DIET, PKLITE, LZEXE,
EXEPACK and etc., will be unpacked into temporary files so that the main
module can perform a recheck. When the check is completed, the temporary files
are deleted.
Temporary files are stored in the working directory. You can specify a
path to this directory (see 3.6.7.1 on page 50).
If a virus known to Kaspersky Anti-Virus is detected in a packed file, it can be
deleted (if disinfecting was specified as the action to take with infected files –
see 0 on page 44). In this case the source file will be replaced by the unpacked
and disinfected one. With the unpacking engine disabled, packed executable
modules will be scanned as unpacked and the program will detect only those
viruses that enrooted in files when they were already packed.).
The unpacking engine can correctly process files that have been compressed
multiple times. It also works with some versions of immunizers, programs
protecting executable files from viruses by attaching checking code blocks
(CPAV and F-XLOCK) and encrypting programs (CryptCOM) to them.
If the archive unpacking engine is enabled, Kaspersky Scanner will detect an
infected file, even if it was, for instance, encrypted by CryptCOM, packed by
PKLITE and, finally, put into an archive by PKZIP.
Filter mode scanning options are specified on the Real-time Scanning tab page
(see Fig. 30).
Scan area for the filter mode is specified on the Real-time Scanning tab page.
This tab page is similar to the Manual Scanning page designed for configuring
scan area for the on-demand scanning mode (see 3.6.2 on page 36), except the
following.
The exact moment for file testing is specified with the help of the Scan Files as They are field group.
To test server files as they are created, mark the Created checkbox.
Created files are checked as they are closed.
To test server files as they are launched or opened, mark the Accessed
checkbox.
If the Created and Accessed checkboxes are unchecked, the filter
mode is disabled.

"Suspicious" files are the files detected by the heuristic analyzer.
• No Action— to perform no actions;
• Delete — to delete;
• Move to Quarantine Directory — to move files to the
"quarantine" directory;
• Rename — to rename the file into a new one with the same
filename but another extension - .vir (or .vi1, .vi2, ..., if such file
already exists).
4. In the Action to Take with Infected Workstation option button
group, specify which actions should be taken regarding the
workstation from which the server received the infected file:
• if you want to send a warning message to the infected
workstation, mark the Show a Warning Message checkbox;
The workstation will receive a message specified on the Alerts tab page
(see 3.6.6 on page 47).
• if you want to block further server access performed from the

Kaspersky Updater module is designed for automatic updating of anti-virus
databases on Kaspersky AV servers of a corporate network.
Kaspersky Updater:
• copies anti-virus databases to the Update server via the Internet
(using network or remote connections) or from the local folder.
Kaspersky Updater may be configured to retrieve automatically the
updates on a desired schedule: daily, weekly, or monthly;
• distributes the retrieved updates to one or several Kaspersky AV
servers. The updates may be distributed on a certain schedule.
Kaspersky Updater allows anti-virus bases to be updated in a centralized manner
within a large corporate network. To do this, the network administrator configures
the Kaspersky AV software package in the following way.
1. Kaspersky Updater regularly copies the updates of anti-virus bases
(via the Internet) to one of the Update servers available, referred to
as a main Update server.
2. For the rest Update servers, Kaspersky Updater regularly retrieves
anti-virus base updates from this main Update server.
3. On the same regular basis, Kaspersky Updater distributes updates
to Kaspersky AV network servers from all the Update servers.
Updating can be monthly, weekly, or daily. Kaspersky Labs recommends users to
update anti-virus bases daily.
1. Expand the Kaspersky Anti-Virus primary item in the left panel of
the Novell ConsoleOne window.

You can simultaneously remove a group of servers. You can select several
Kaspersky AV servers using a mouse/keyboard or the Select All button.
To set the mode of distributing updates to a Kaspersky AV server
selected in the list of servers, click one of the buttons of the Update Mode group:
• On Demand – for manual updating. In this mode, a user sends
updates from an Update server to a Kaspersky AV server using the
Update tab page of the Kaspersky Updater in… dialog window
(see 4.4.6, p. 89).
• Automatic – for automatically updating. In this mode, an Update
server sends updates to a Kaspersky AV server immediately after it
has retrieved it. This is a default mode.
• Scheduler – for scheduled updating. In this mode, an Update
server automatically sends updates to a Kaspersky AV server
according to user’s schedule.
The schedule for distributing updates on a Kaspersky AV server can
be set in the Kaspersky Scanner in… – Scheduler dialog box
(see Fig. 70) similarly to setting a scheduled for retrieving updates
by an Update сервером using the Scheduler tab page (see 4.4.4,
Page 88
88 Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Novell NetWare
p. 82). An exception is the value set for a default option –
Automatic.
Figure 70. The About tab page. Setting the schedule for distributing updates.
Note the difference between schedules, which you set on the
Scheduler tab page and the About tab page in the Kaspersky
Scanner in… – Scheduler dialog box. On the Scheduler tab page you
set a schedule for RETRIEVING updates by an Update server. In the
Kaspersky Scanner in… – Scheduler dialog box, you set schedules
for DISTRIBUTING the updates from the Update server to Kaspersky
AV servers. However, your steps during setting these processes are
similar.
The update distribution mode can be set for a group of Kaspersky AV servers.
You can select several Kaspersky AV servers by using a mouse or a keyboard or
the Select All button.
Using the About tab page, Kaspersky Updater is loaded/unloaded on a server by
two buttons: Load Updater and Unload Updater. The status of these buttons

To load Kaspersky Updater on a server using the About tab page,
click the Load Updater button to load and the Unload Updater button
to unload the program.
The Update tab page allows a manual start of retrieving updates by an Update
server and distributing them to the Kaspersky AV servers. The Update server
receives updates according to the settings on the Settings and Advanced tab
pages.
You can manually update or distribute the updates irrespectively of the
mode set for this server on the Scheduler/About tab page.
The updating/distributing session can be opened by the Update server and a
workstation that has a ConsoleOne control module. If a session is opened on the
Update server, all operations will be performed by the Kaspersky Updater
program. If the session is opened on a workstation, the process will be governed
by the ConsoleOne control mode with the Kaspersky Updater settings. Updating
from a workstation is helpful when a session from an Update server is
unavailable (the server is busy, no Internet connection, etc.).

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Updater (Kaspersky AV Updater) is designed for automatic
updating of anti-virus databases, which contain virus descriptions and methods of
disinfection.
The updater copies anti-virus databases and executable modules via Internet
(using network or remote connections) or from a local folder.
The updater interface is executed in the Windows wizard-like fashion (Windows
Wizard) – it consists of several consecutive windows (steps); you can switch
between windows using Back and Next buttons, and complete the updating
process by clicking Done. To abort updating at any moment (step), click Cancel.
Immediately after the updater is launched, the wizard's initial window appears on
the screen: Welcome to the Kaspersky AV Updater Wizard (see Fig. 76).
This window displays package components to update and update sources, as
well. If you want to change any program settings, mark the Change settings
checkbox. Otherwise, the following steps (described below) regarding changing
options will be omitted.
