blocking files of certain file extension

[natashrestha]

could anyone tell me how files with extensions like .zip, .avi, etc be blocked by nod32 ? Also is ther provision of blocking mail attachment based on file extension? there is scanning provision for scanning archives but i could not block mail attachments.

What action is taken against infected files in nod32 ver 2.52. And where are the infected files stored?

Hi natashrestha, welcome to Wilders.

{QUOTE-> could anyone tell me how files with extensions like .zip, .avi, etc be blocked by nod32? <-QUOTE}They can't, this is the job of a mail filter not an antivirus.

{QUOTE-> Also is ther provision of blocking mail attachment based on file extension? <-QUOTE}Not with NOD32, this may be possible with your email client.

{QUOTE-> What action is taken against infected files in nod32 ver 2.52. <-QUOTE}This is dependent upon your settings in NOD32. I would suggest a run through the NOD32 Tutorial found HERE (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=37509)

{QUOTE-> And where are the infected files stored? <-QUOTE}They are located in a folder called infected within the C Drive> Program Files> Eset. This folder is created upon first use of "Quarantine".

Cheers ;D

Thankyou for answering my queries.
I am using the Nod32 for Linux mail servers. we had used Nod32 with inflex which binded sendmail with it but now we are trying to just use Nod32. Can u tell me if Nod32 also automatically binds sendmail or we have to run sendmail separately while using Bi-directional scanning(content filtering in MTA).
