Configuring and Maintaining Your Server 71
Configuring Antivirus
To provide your e-mail users with anti-virus protection, you can use either the Dr. Web
or Kaspersky Antivirus solutions. Both Dr. Web and Kaspersky Antivirus can scan
server's mail traffic in real time, however, only Kaspersky Antivirus allows fine tuning
and filtering of specific file types from attachments.
The both programs require an additional license key with annual renewal. Check the
current prices with your provider or visit Parallels site at
http://www.parallels.com/en/buyonline/plesk8/.
To install Dr. Web or Kaspersky Antivirus:
1 Go to Server > Updater.
2 Click your Plesk version.
3 In the list of components, select either Dr.Web antivirus or Kaspersky
antivirus.
4 Click Install.
After the installation is completed, obtain and install a license key for the selected
antivirus program, as described in the following steps.
5 Go to Server > License Management.
6 Click Order New Key. The Parallels online store page listing available
add-ons opens in a new browser window.
7 On this page, select the check box next to the Dr. Web antivirus or
Kaspersky Antivirus item and click ADD TO MY BASKET.
8 Because Plesk add-ons are added to the license keys that already
exist, the Plesk Number Checking System page will open. Enter the
number of your license key to which you add this feature and click
Submit.
9 In the next steps, indicate the currency, number of keys, provide
contact details, billing address, and payment method, and submit the
form. You will be notified by e-mail when your order is processed.
10 When you receive the e-mail notice, return to the License
Management screen (Server > License Management) and click
Retrieve Keys to retrieve the ordered license key. Plesk License
Manager will retrieve the upgraded license key from the Parallels
licensing server and install it to your control panel.
11 Go to Server > Mail.
12 Under Antivirus preferences, select the antivirus you need and click
OK.
If you installed Dr.Web, you can switch on antivirus protection only on a per-mailbox
basis, and only after you have set up mailboxes. By default, virus definitions are
retrieved every 5 hours from Dr.Web site, and this setting is not changeable through
the control panel.
