Toxic Email Attachments Getting Through

Postby alyork » Dec 14 08 8:00 pm

Kaspersky doesn't seem to be doing a very good job of catching toxic email attachments. Several of our clients have opened them on their workstations with disasterous results. I really don't want to have to install malware scanners on every desk top when Wingate is supposed to be doing the job.

Hi

Did you check the state of the license etc in Kaspersky in WinGate?

Is this problem ongoing, or does it happen in bursts? There is always the possibility with 0-hour attacks that the attack will beat the AV providers signatures.

How often do you have Kaspersky AV for WinGate updating?

Regards

The licence says its valid.

It appears that all email attachements are getting through all the time. Even ones we know are bad.

However, its very hard to tell what, if anything, Kaspersky is doing, as there are no stats that we can find.

Updates are done daily according to the log, and we can't see an option to change the frequency.

The quarantine folder is empty.

Hi

Check also:

a) the Plugins pane in the SMTP server, make sure that Kaspersky AV is enabled in there.
b) the Kaspersky AntiVirus for WinGate log files. These should indicate if email is being scanned

Plugin for Kaspersky is enabled in both SMTP and POP3.

Kaspersky is set to log:

Request Blocked
Configuration changes
Antivirus database updates


This is what the last 3 weeks log files in I:\Program Files\WinGate\Logs\Kaspersky AV for WinGate show:

Hi

1. update frequency. This is controlled by the scheduler, there should be an event called "Update Kaspersky Plugin". You can alter frequency by editing this scheduled event.

2. Not scanning. Those logs indicate it's wired into the chain so should be scanning. Have you checked the settings in the settings tab of KAV? E.g. if set to custom, check the advanced settings.

If none of this helps, I can take a look with remote desktop (or VNC or similar) if you'd like.
