Enabling outbound email heuristics scanning Auto-Protect scanning for Internet email provides outbound email protection against threats such as worms that can distribute themselves using email applications. Symantec AntiVirus utilizes Bloodhound Virus Detection technology to successfully identify threats in outbound email messages. To enable outbound email heuristics scanning 1 In the Symantec System Center console, right-click the server group or servers to configure, and then click All Tasks > Symantec AntiVirus > Client Auto-Protect Options. 2 In the Client Auto-Protect Options dialog box, on the Internet E-mail tab, check Enable Internet E-mail Auto-Protect. 3 Click Advanced. 4 In the Internet E-mail Advanced Options dialog box, check Outbound Worm Heuristics. 5 Click OK. 6 Click Reset All to ensure that all of the computers are using the AutoProtect scanning configuration that you have specified. See "Configuring Auto-Protect scans" on page 96. How to specify exclusions Exclusions help you balance the amount of protection that your network requires with the amount of time and resources that are required to provide that protection. For example, when you scan all file types, you may want to exclude certain folders that contain only data files that are not subject to viruses. This decreases the overhead that is associated with scanning files.
