Real-time protection

In this window, you can customize the Real-time protection parameters. Choose whether you want to Enable Real-time protection (the default) or disable it. If you disable the Real-time protection, the options below become inactive. When the Real-time protection is disabled, ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint does not scan documents on upload/download, Real-time protection rules are not applied, and a warning message is displayed in Monitoring.

Enable Performance Counters

To monitor and track ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint performance, use ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Performance Counters.

Rules

Click Edit to open the rules list, and click Add and follow the Rule wizard to create a new rule. Rules enable you to manually define and manage file filtering conditions and actions with filtered files. Rules are applied according to a set of combined conditions, and different conditions and actions are available during the Real-time protection.

SharePoint server protection settings (these settings can also be managed from the SharePoint Central Administration):

SharePoint Central Administration web page

Click the URL to open your SharePoint Central Administration site - Antivirus settings. If you change settings from within SharePoint Central Administration, allow time for the changes to appear in ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint.

Scan documents on upload

Documents uploaded to SharePoint are scanned via the web interface whenever they are saved in Microsoft Office programs and during synchronization via the SharePoint workspace.

Scan documents on download

Documents downloaded from SharePoint via a web interface are scanned while downloading. This includes pictures and documents opened from Microsoft Office programs during synchronization via SharePoint workspace.

Allow users to download infected documents

When enabled, SharePoint displays a warning about infected files when they are found, but you are still able to open infected files, and these files are blocked rather than deleted. If disabled, a message is shown saying the document is infected and the download is impossible. The SharePoint administrator can always download infected files regardless of this setting.

Attempt to clean infected documents

When enabled, infected documents that are cleanable are cleaned.

Time out duration (sec.)

The maximum time SharePoint will wait for a response from ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint. If no response is received, it reports an AV scanner error. The default is 300 seconds.

Number of scan threads

The number of instances for each w3wp process. SharePoint usually uses three w3wp processes. A total of 15 (3x5) scanner objects are available. This limits the maximum number of files downloaded/uploaded at the same time. This is not the same as the number of ThreatSense scan engines.
