Enablement of Real-Time Virus Scanner by default

To protect your community from becoming a distribution point for malicious software, Khoros’s Real-Time Virus Scanner (RTVS) service checks for viruses in files attached to posts. This service will be enabled for all Khoros communities by default. 

Real-Time Virus Scanner

• Scans all attachments while uploading and removes malicious attachments.
• Keeps the service’s virus definitions up to date.
• Periodically scans previously uploaded files for malicious content based on latest virus definitions and updates. Infected files are automatically removed, all references to the file are removed.

For more details, please refer to Real-Time Virus Scanner.
