Enabling Antivirus Scanning with GlobalSearch and GlobalCapture

The GlobalSearch APIs, GlobalCapture APIs, and GlobalCapture Engine can be configured to leverage your server’s antivirus definitions to scan and flag malicious files. When this happens, the malicious file is disposed of before being introduced to the Square 9 ecosystem.

GlobalSearch must be version 6.3.189 or later and GlobalCapture must be version 3.1.110 or later to support this feature.

This functionality is meant to be added to an existing security plan, not replace it. If you have concerns regarding your network’s safety, consult your local IT or network security admin.
