Virus Blocking 191
Configure Virus Settings for Users
You turn virus blocking on/off and set the notification interval for users by editing
the default user’s virus settings. If the user isn’t registered in the message security
service, the user does not receive virus-blocking protection unless you turn on
Non-Account Virus Blocking for the organization to which the user belongs.
If you want to change these settings for all users, you can change the default user
and all existing users by batch file. See “Manage Default User Templates” and
“Manage a User’s Settings” for details.
Following are the steps to configure virus settings for the default user. You can
also follow steps in the event a particular user has accidently disabled virus
protection. If you wish to prevent users from configuring these virus settings using
the Message Center, see “Configuring User Access to Virus Settings.”
To configure virus settings for users:
1. In the Administration Console, go to Orgs and Users > Users.
2. Search for the user if necessary (see “Search for Users” on page 59). Click
the user address.
3. Under Inbound Services, click Virus Blocking, then configure your default
settings:
