Anti-Virus configuration

Scroll

We recommend the following anti-virus configuration:

 

1.Turn on scanning of incoming and outgoing documents from and to the Thereforeā„¢ Server by enabling the options 'Scan incoming Documents' and 'Scan outgoing Documents' in the Advanced Settings and setting them to 'True'. To find these settings, open the Thereforeā„¢ Solution Designer, right-click on the Thereforeā„¢ Object, click 'Settings...' and go to the 'Advanced' tab.

INS_Anti-Virus_001

note

This requires that AMSI (Anti Malware Scanning Interface) compatible anti-virus software is installed on the Thereforeā„¢ Server machine.

 

2.Define an exclusion rule for 'TheServer.exe' in the anti-virus settings on the Thereforeā„¢ Server machine.

 

This change in the configuration allows the Thereforeā„¢ Server to explicitly scan incoming and outgoing documents exactly once. This avoids overhead due to additional scans which happens in the default configuration. Additionally, potential errors in the Thereforeā„¢ Server that occur under high load due to anti-virus software blocking access to a file are avoided.

 

info

Note: Processes

If a file is saved in Thereforeā„¢ and anti-virus scanning reports an error, the file will be deleted from the server and an error is reported to the client.

 

note

Defining an exclusion rule for TheServer.exe does not work with Windows 2019 Server. Instead, define an exclusion rule for the Thereforeā„¢ Buffer Directory.
