Object transferred by other than HTTP, FTP, SMTP and POP3 protocols cannot be

checked by an antivirus.

If a substandard port is used for the traffic, corresponding protocol inspector will not

be applied automatically. In that case, simply define a traffic rule which will allow this

traffic using a corresponding protocol inspector (for details, see chapter

7.3

).

Example: You want to perform antivirus checks of the HTTP protocol at port 8080.

1.

Define the HTTP 8080 service (TCP protocol, port 8080).

2.

Create a traffic rule which will allow this service applying a corresponding protocol

inspector.

Figure 13.1

Traffic rule for HTTP protocol inspection at non-standard ports

Add the new rule before the rule allowing access to any service in the Internet (if

such a rule exists). If the NAT (source address translation) technology is used for

Internet connection, address translation must be set for this rule as well.

Note: A corresponding protocol inspector can be also specified within the ser-

vice definition, or both definition methods can be used. Both methods yield the

same result, however, the corresponding traffic rule is more transparent when the

protocol inspector is defined in it.

13.2 How to choose and setup antiviruses

To select antiviruses and set their parameters, open the Antivirus tab in Configuration
Content Filtering Antivirus. Ob this tab, you can select the integrated McAfee module, an
external antivirus, or both.

If both antiviruses are used, each transferred object (downloaded file, an email attachment,

etc.) will be first checked by the integrated McAfee antivirus module and then by the other

antivirus (a selected external antivirus).

Integrated McAfee

To enable the integrated McAfee antivirus, enable Use integrated McAfee antivirus engine in

the Antivirus tab. This option is not available unless the license key for WinRoute includes

a license for the McAfee antivirus or in trial versions. For detailed information about the

licensing policy, read chapter

Use the Integrated antivirus engine section in the Antivirus tab to set update parameters for

McAfee.
