Release Notes for Dr.Web Anti-virus for Microsoft ISA Server and Forefront TMG Light 6.00.1

 

 


Dr.Web Anti-virus for Microsoft ISA Server and Forefront TMG Light (hereinafter referred to as Dr.Web Anti-virus Light) is an anti-virus plug-in designed to protect corporate systems against viruses by checking and neutralizing all the types of threats in the data traffic passing through Microsoft ISA Server and Microsoft Forefront TMG over the HTTP protocol (including FTP over HTTP). The plug-in checks the incoming Internet traffic for viruses, dialers, adware, hacktools, jokes and riskware. If a threat is detected, it is processed according to the application settings.

This application is optimized with respect to the speed of HTTP packages and hyperlinks processing compared to Dr.Web Anti-virus for Microsoft ISA Server and Forefront TMG, but it does not include some additional features, more specifically, the anti-spam check, joining users into the groups and assigning the anti-virus protection profiles to them.

The application integrates into Microsoft ISA Server and Microsoft Forefront TMG by implementing its own data filter, that gives access to them to the Dr.Web anti-virus engine. Dr.Web Anti-virus Light operates on the Dr.Web CMS platform (Dr.Web Central Management Service), which supports the central configuration of application settings and components and remote administration via protected protocol HTTPS. Dr.Web CMS has inner web server Dr.Web CMS Web Console with client authentication, thus, only the authorized administrators can access the application settings.

The Dr.Web CMS platform includes a special service Dr.Web SSM (Dr.Web Start/Stop Manager) to control the operation of the applications and responds to abnormal events, e.g., hand-ups or unexpected stops. In case errors occur during the operation of the application, the Dr.Web SSM service either restarts or reloads it. This service allows to remotely start, stop or restart the applications working under the Dr.Web CMS platform.

Dr.Web Anti-virus for Microsoft ISA Server and Forefront TMG Light allows joining the servers, where the Microsoft firewalls reside, into a cluster (hierarchic tree of main server and sub-servers) to replicate the application parameters from the main server to the sub-servers and thus, manage the whole protection system from only one server.

Dr.Web Anti-virus Light performs the following functions:

Scan all Microsoft ISA Server and Microsoft Forefront TMG traffic, transferred via HTTP and FTP over HTTP protocols
Block access to the infected objets for users within the network protected by Microsoft ISA Server or Microsoft Forefront TMG firewall
Isolate infected and suspicious objects to Quarantine
Add notifications on virus events to the Event log and to the internal event database in Dr.Web CMS
Restrict access to web resources using Office Control
Collect statistics
Automatically update virus databases and components of the plug-in

Dr.Web Anti-virus Light uses virus databases, which are constantly supplemented with new records to assure up-to-date protection. Also, a heuristic analyzer is used for additional protection against unknown viruses.
