CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
Constant growth in both the number of computer users, and the volume of e-mail
and Internet traffic, increases the threat of virus infections and data corruption or
theft by malicious computer programs (malware).
The most dangerous sources of malware are:
Internet
The global information network is the main conduit for all types of malware. As a
rule, viruses and other malicious programs are located on popular Internet web
sites, disguised as useful software or freeware. Malware can also be found within
scripts that automatically run when a web site is loaded in the user’s browser.
E-mail messages
E-mail messages delivered to the user’s mailbox and stored in e-mail databases
may contain viruses. Malware can be located in message body or in its
attachment. Typically, infected e-mail messages contain viruses or mail worms.
When you open an e-mail message or save an attached file to your hard drive,
you may infect data stored on your computer.
Software vulnerabilities
In most cases hacker attacks are attempted using the so-called "software
security breaches". Such vulnerabilities allow hackers to access remotely your
computer and, therefore, your data, your LAN resources and other sources of
information.
1.1. Computer viruses and malware
In order to be aware of potential threats to your computer, it is helpful to know
the types of malicious software ("malware") and how they work. In general,
malicious programs fall into the following three categories:
Worms - malicious programs which spread using network resources. These
programs are called "worms" due to their ability to tunnel from one computer to
another using networks, e-mail and other communication channels. This ability
also allows worms to proliferate extremely quickly.
Worms propagate by penetrating a system, determining network addresses of
other computers, and sending their copies to those computers. Apart from
network addresses, worms often use data contained in the address books of e-
mail client applications installed on the infected host. Sometimes worms create

6 Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.5 for Lotus Notes/Domino
temporary files on disks, but they can also function without utilizing any
resources of infected computers other than RAM.
Viruses - programs that infect other software by embedding their code in order
to gain control when the infected files are run. This simple definition helps
determine that the major action of a virus is infection of computer programs.
Viruses spread somewhat slower than worms.
Trojan horses or Trojans are programs that perform unauthorized actions on
infected computers. For instance, depending on the particular conditions, they
can erase information on hard drives, make the system freeze, steal confidential
information, etc. Trojan horses are not viruses proper since they do not infect
programs or data; they are unable to sneak independently into computers;
malefactors often distribute them disguised as some "useful" software. However,
Trojans may inflict far greater damages than a regular virus attack.
Henceforth in this Guide the term "virus" will be used to refer to viruses,
Trojan horses and worms. A particular type of malware will be
mentioned only when it is required.
1.2. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.5 for
Lotus Notes/Domino
Kaspersky Anti-VirusTM for Lotus Notes/Domino (hereinafter referred to as
Kaspersky Anti-Virus or the application) is designed to provide anti-virus
protection of Lotus Notes/Domino-based mail systems and databases. The
application is installed on the server running Windows 2000/2003 operating
system and protects all mail traffic passing through the server and the Domino
database files against malware.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Lotus Notes/Domino allows you to perform the following
operations:
• Scan for viruses all e-mail messages passing through the Lotus
Notes/Domino mail system. The anti-virus scan involves both the text of
the message and attached files.
• Cure infected messages if that is provided for in the settings.
• Filter database files by their type. Files of a specific format will be treated
using individual rules defined by the administrator.
• Isolate files in Quarantine (special storage for suspicious objects) to
prevent the possibility of data loss.
• Notify the sender, recipient and the system administrator about messages
that contain malicious objects.

Introduction 7
• Register virus outbreaks and notify the administrator about such events.
• Update the anti-virus database either in automatic or manual mode.
Supported sources of updates include Kaspersky Lab’s FTP and HTTP
servers or a local/network folder that contains a current set of updates.
• Maintain the Anti-Virus operation log.
• Manage the license keys for the Anti-Virus.
Attention! New viruses emerge every day and in order to keep your anti-
virus application up-to-date, it is extremely important that you update
your anti-virus database on an hourly basis!
Please note limitations in the operation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for
Lotus Notes/Domino:
• It does not scan messages encrypted using standard
Lotus Notes/Domino tools.
• It can disrupt the integrity of electronic signatures in
messages signed by the sender when adding a scan
report to message text or when replacing attached files
with disinfected ones or during removal of incurable
objects.
• It does not scan files created in OS/2 or Macintosh
environment.
• It converts messages from MIME format into Rich Text if
a scan report is added to the body of the message. Some
formatting of the message may be lost then.
• It cannot be configured using via a web-based interface.
1.3. Hardware and software system
requirements
The following software must be installed on the host server for the operation of
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.5 for Lotus Notes/Domino:
One of the following operating systems:

8 Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.5 for Lotus Notes/Domino

Lotus Notes/Domino 7.0 version is supported without use of the DB2
Universal Database technology.
Minimum hardware requirements for Kaspersky Anti-Virus:
• Pentium 300 MHz or higher processor.
• 64 MB free RAM (128 MB is recommended).
• 11 MB of available disk space in order to install the application (the
amount does not include the space required for service folders).
