By definition antivirus software examines files when the operating system performs operations on them, such as opening, creating or closing a file. To provide a secure environment an Exchange Administrator must be concerned with environment security. This paper shows how to deploy file-level antivirus software on Exchange Server 2007 independently of the file-level antivirus software installed. It also explains which directories must be excluded from the file-level antivirus software, specific extensions, and the services running in memory as well.
