Forefront Security for SharePoint cleans infected documents even though the "Attempt to clean infected documents" option in SharePoint is not selected
Consider the following scenario:
- You are running Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint on a SharePoint server.
- In Forefront Administrator, you select Clean: repair document in the Antivirus settings.
- In SharePoint Central Administrator, you clear the Attempt to clean infected documents check box in the Antivirus settings.
- You try to upload an infected document to the SharePoint Web site.
In this scenario, Forefront Security for SharePoint unexpectedly cleans the document. This means the SharePoint Antivirus setting is not honored.
This problem occurs because the SharePoint
Attempt to clean infected documents option does not take precedence over the Forefront Security for SharePoint
Action setting for each scan job. This problem occurs in versions of Forefront Security for SharePoint that are earlier than Service Pack 3.
To resolve this issue, install Forefront Security for
SharePoint with Service Pack 3 (SP3).
