23

)

Antivirus applications

Most of the modern desktop antivirus programs (antivirus applications designed to pro-

tect desktop workstations) scans also network traffic — typically HTTP, FTP and email

protocols. WinRoute also provides with this feature which may cause collisions. Therefore

it is recommended to install a server version of your antivirus program on the WinRoute

host. The server version of the antivirus can also be used to scan WinRoute’s network

traffic or as an additional check to the integrated antivirus McAfee (for details, see chap-

ter

13

).

If the antivirus program includes so called realtime file protection (automatic scan of

all read and written files), it is necessary to exclude directories cache (HTTP cache in

WinRoute — see chapter

8.5

) and tmp (used for antivirus check). If WinRoute uses an

antivirus to check objects downloaded via HTTP or FTP protocols (see chapter

13.3

), the

cache directory can be excluded with no risk — files in this directory have already been

checked by the antivirus.

The McAfee integrated antivirus plugin does not interact with antivirus application in-

stalled on the WinRoute host (provided that all the conditions described above are met).

2.3 Installation

System requirements

Requirements on minimal hardware parameters of the host where WinRoute will be installed:

2 network interfaces

50 MB free disk space (for the installation)

Disk space for statistics (see chapter

21

) and logs (in accordance with traffic flow and

logging level — see chapter

For maximum protection of the installed product (particularly its configuration files),

it is recommended to use the NTFS file system.
