The Virus tab is used to configure how MOVEit Central interacts with third-party real-time antivirus programs.
Definite Virus. This setting configures what MOVEit Central should do if it determines that a specific antivirus scanner has identified a file as having a specific virus.
Probable Virus. This setting configures what MOVEit Central should do if a file it is processing is suddenly deleted, but either:
MOVEit Central cannot determine for certain that the deletion was done by an antivirus program, or
MOVEit Central cannot determine from the antivirus program which virus was detected.
Typically, this situation arises when an antivirus program that is not supported by MOVEit Central is running.
For each case, there are three actions that can be taken by MOVEit Central (in addition to marking the individual file transfer as failed and task as partially failed):
Attempt to delete the source file. If the source file cannot be deleted from the host (perhaps due to insufficient permissions), MOVEit Central will "remember" the source file, as below.
Remember the source file and do not download it again. MOVEit Central will make an entry in the "Task Transfer Exceptions" list for this task, which will cause future runs of this task to not download the file. If you want MOVEit Central to download the apparently infected file again, remove these entries using MOVEit Central Admin's "Edit Task Transfer Exceptions" right-click menu option.
Do nothing. The file may be downloaded again next time. This option is rarely useful because the antivirus scanner will likely intercept the file again, causing the same situation to occur again.
