Understanding Full Antivirus Scan Result Handling

Different antivirus scan results are handled in different manners. For example, if a scan result is clean, the traffic is forwarded to the receiver. If the scan result is infected, the traffic is dropped. If the scan results in an error, the result handling depends on the cause of the failure and the configuration (fallback settings).

The following is a list of actions based on scan results:

• Scan Result = Pass

  The scan result handling action is to pass the message. In this case, no virus is detected and no error code is returned. Or, an error code is returned, but the fallback option for this error code is set to log-and-permit.

• Scan Result = Block

  The scan result handling action is to block the message. In this case, either a virus is detected or an error code is returned and the fallback option for this error code is BLOCK.
