Antivirus Software

To ensure the highest level of security, Avaya recommends (but does not require) the

use of antivirus software on MPS Windows Application Processors (AP). MPS

software has been extensively tested for compatibility with the McAfee Virus Scan

and Norton AntiVirus software packages.

Avaya believes that the risk of virus infection on an AP is minimal due to the limited

administrative access required to support the server. However, the need for antivirus

software on a Windows-based PC is self evident. Avaya provides the following

recommendations regarding antivirus software:

• When installing or upgrading system software, all antivirus functions must be

disabled (i.e., firewalls, passive scanning, auto updates, etc.). Do not start the

antivirus functions until all software installation procedures are complete.

• Virus scan software places additional load on the AP. Set automatic virus scans to

run only during off-peak hours. If it is necessary to run manual scans during

normal operations, the Windows Performance Monitor should be employed to

monitor CPU utilization.

• Antivirus software can be configured to repair infected files automatically. If an

infected file cannot be repaired automatically, do not attempt to replace or

remove it. Contact your distributor or support representative for assistance.

• Do not connect the AP directly to the internet for downloading virus definitions

and/or file updates. Instead, virus definitions and file updates should be

downloaded to another agent on the network and manually loaded into the AP.

This limits access to the internet and reduces the risk of downloading infected

files.

• Scan CD-ROMs and floppy disks before installing or uploading to the AP. This

minimizes any exposure to infected files from external sources.

• The antivirus software should be the latest available versions. Avaya recommends

the following packages:

• McAfee Virus Scan (version 6.02 or later)

• Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition (version 7.6 or later)

It must be known that system performance may get affected by the use of antivirus

software if many resource-intensive applications are running together.
