Description
Virus scanning software can be used to protect a system from penetration by computer viruses and to limit their spread through intermediate systems. Virus scanning software is available to DoD on the JTF-GNO web site. The virus scanning software should be configured to perform scans dynamically on accessed files. If this capability is not available, the system must be configured to scan, at a minimum, all altered files on the system on a daily basis. If the system processes inbound SMTP mail, the virus scanner must be configured to scan all received mail.
