Release Notes for Dr.Web for Microsoft ISA Server and Forefront TMG 11.00.0

Last updated on 11/18/2016


Dr.Web for Microsoft ISA Server and Forefront TMG (hereinafter- Dr.Web) is an application that protects enterprise networks against virus threats and spam. It integrates with the system in order to search and neutralize all types of threats in the stream of data going through Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server (hereinafter – Microsoft ISA Server) and Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (hereinafter – Microsoft Forefront TMG) via HTTP, FTP, SMTP and POP3 protocols. The application checks the incoming Internet traffic for viruses, dialers, adware, hacktools, jokes and riskware.

The application builds in its filters into Microsoft Firewall Service and Microsoft Forefront TMG Firewall. This allows Dr.Web anti-virus engine receive and process data. Dr.Web operates on a platform that features its own password-protected web interface and an additional web console for advanced configuration.

Dr.Web for Microsoft ISA Server and Forefront TMG 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 performs the following functions:

Scans all Microsoft ISA Server and Microsoft Forefront TMG traffic transferred over HTTP, FTP (including FTP over HTTP), SMTP and POP3 protocols;

Blocks access to infected objects for users within the network protected by Microsoft ISA Server or Microsoft Forefront TMG firewall;

Isolates infected and suspicious objects

Registers incidents in Windows Event log and in the internal event database

Filters suspected spam email messages sent via SMTP protocol;

Adds notifications to email messages containing security threats;

Restricts access to specific web resources;

Collects statistics;

Automatically updates virus databases and components;

Dr.Web virus databases are constantly updated with new records to provide system protection. The application features a heuristic analyzer that ensures additional protection against viruses and threats that are not yet included into virus databases.


New Features in Version 11.00.0

FTP traffic scanning setup has been changed. When a file is being transferred to a user, a part of this file (0.5 Mbyte by default) is held down. If the application detects a threat in this file, it will corrupt its part. After that, the entire file will be transferred to the user.

Support has been added for HTTPS traffic in the Office control component. If the component gets triggered, it will return a connection error.

New Office control categories have been introduced. There are two new categories — URLs listed due to a notice from a copyright owner and Online games.

Parameters For curable objects and For incurable objects in the Scanning component settings have been joined in one parameter named For infected onjects.

Dr.Web Administrator Web Console interface has been localized into French.

Advanced settings for selecting types of damaged objects have been introduced.

A warning about unsaved changes in Dr.Web Administrator Web Console has been implemented. Now if you try to switch to another section without saving the changes, the application will ask for confirmation.

Dr.Web Administrator Web Console new address: https://<ISA Server address>:2080/admin.

Dr.Web CMS Web Console new address: https://<ISA Server address>:2080/root.

A possibility to manage access privileges has been implemented for web interfaces. A user with restricted access privileges cannot modify settings in Dr.Web Administrator Web Console and cannot access Dr.Web CMS Web Console.
