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.

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.

2. Select Kaspersky AV servers to act as protection units. Install
Kaspersky Scanner on these servers. Use control module to adjust
Kaspersky Scanner settings.
3. Choose Update servers that will update anti-virus databases on
Kaspersky AV servers. Install Kaspersky Updater on these
servers. Use control module to adjust Kaspersky Updater. (For
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 the left panel of the Novell ConsoleOne main window, the resources of your
local network as well as other added items are displayed as a set of objects
