Setting Up Virus Protection (Windows Hosting)

To protect your users from viruses and other malicious software that spreads itself through e-mail, you may want to switch on antivirus service that comes with your Parallels Plesk Panel.

To set up and switch on antivirus for all users' mailboxes:

  1. Go to Settings > Virus Protection Settings (in the Mail group).
  2. Select the desired scanning mode.
  3. To allow users to adjust scanning settings for incoming and outgoing mail, select the respective checkboxes.
  4. Click OK.

The antivirus is now switched on. It will scan mail and delete all infected messages.
