Bytware, Inc., a leading provider of monitoring and security solutions, has announced the expansion of the StandGuard Anti-Virus family of products to include a module for scanning of IBM Lotus Domino mail and databases residing on the System i.

An optional add-on for StandGuard Anti-Virus System i, StandGuard Anti-Virus for iSeries Domino (powered by McAfee) includes the following features:

•Mail scanning. The application dynamically scanning email messages for viruses and other types of malicious code, protecting Domino mail users from receiving infected and potentially harmful e-mail messages.

•Database scanning. The application provides on-demand scanning of Domino databases, detecting viruses and malicious code embedded within document attachments and OLE objects.

•Quarantine. The application moves infected attachments to a quarantine database, where an administrator can further investigate their origin and integrity by submitting a sample to McAfee's Avert threat center.

•Real time alerts. Alerts can be configured for when various events occur, such as when infected messages and documents are detected, and when automatic activities occur. These alert administrators to be continually aware of the health and status of the system.

•Automatic updating. The antivirus databases are automatically updated daily from McAfee's Internet servers or from specified computers on the local network.

•Scheduling. The administrator can schedule automatic database scanning and automatic updating to occur at user configurable time periods, such as nights and weekends when activity is low.
