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
).
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
) and tmp (used for antivirus check). If WinRoute uses an
antivirus to check objects downloaded via HTTP or FTP protocols (see chapter
), 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).
