Antivirus Software

 
administrator guidemailsoftwareanti virusantivirus

To provide your email users with anti-virus protection, you can use
either the Plesk Premium Antivirus or Kaspersky Antivirus solutions.
Both solutions 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 Plesk site.

To install Plesk Premium Antivirus or Kaspersky Antivirus:

  1. Go to Tools & Settings > Updates. Updater will open
    in a new window or tab.
  2. Click Add/Remove Components.
  3. In the list of components, expand the Mail hosting group and
    select Install for either the Plesk Premium Antivirus or the
    Kaspersky antivirus option.
  4. Click Continue.

After the installation is completed, obtain and install a license key
for the selected antivirus program. For this purpose, follow one of the
links:

  • Purchase Premium
    Antivirus
  • Purchase Kaspersky
    Antivirus

When a corresponding page is opened, perform the following steps:

  1. Because Plesk add-ons are added to the license keys that already
    exist, you will need to specify the number of your license key to
    which you add this feature and click Submit.
  2. 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 email when your order is processed.
  3. When you receive the email notice, return to the License
    Management
    screen (Tools & Settings > License Management)
    and click Retrieve Keys. Plesk’s License Manager will retrieve
    the upgraded license key from the Plesk licensing server and install
    it.
  4. Go to Tools & Settings > Antivirus (in the Mail group). Under
    Antivirus settings, select the desired antivirus and click
    OK.

If you install Plesk Premium Antivirus, 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,
and this setting is not changeable through the Plesk user interface.
