When a message containing virus is received you get a warning a a couple of choices (including deleting the attachment from the message).
But, if you want to set up automatic handling of this you only have the choises “Silent mode: Yes or No”. And under Heuristic “Let be delivered, Delete/Deny access, Mark in subject filed”. Which of these options does the same (that is only deletes the infected attachment - not rest of message).
In the help file they talk about an extra “tab” with options on what to do, but I can’t find that in the program (the help files doesn’t reflect the tabs I really have in the options).
Hi,
heuristic check is performed only when classic virus scan doesn’t find a virus.
Options for silent mode:
Let it be delivered - it means OK, continue - nothing is done
Delete/Deny access - for incoming message - email is destroyed (replaced with avast! template with some info); for outgoing message - sending of email is blocked
Mark it in subject field - in subject of email is added prefix “[avast! - SUSPICIOUS]”
Why this option ‘delete’ all email body?
I mean, I thought you will just have an maked email with the same body… :-
I’m receiving blank emails marked in the subject field. Is it right?
technical: when “Mark it in subject field” is selected, body of email should be intact. What provider does delete email body? Internet Mail or Outlook/Exchange??? For what types of messages (inbound/outbound)? And what about disable/enable “Insert info into messages”. Does this affect it? thanks! pavels
