5. Installation
========================================================================
   Refer to the Installation and Deployment Guide for installation and
   uninstallation instructions.


6. Post-Installation Configuration
========================================================================
   After installing PortalProtect, configure the antivirus settings in
   the SharePoint Central Administration and Web content scan settings
   from the PortalProtect Management Console. This will enable
   PortalProtect to function correctly.

   6.1 To enable the antivirus settings in SharePoint:

   1. From within SharePoint, go to SharePoint Central Administration >
      Security > General Security > Manage antivirus settings.
   2. Enable the following:
      - Scan documents on upload
      - Scan documents on download
      - Attempt to clean infected documents

   6.2 To enable Web content scan settings in PortalProtect:

   1. From PortalProtect, go to the PortalProtect Management Console
      > Summary > System > Microsoft SharePoint Services.
   2. Enable the following:
      - Scan Web content

   6.3 If your PortalProtect server has an antivirus product installed,
   configure it so that it does not scan the following folders:

   Note: (Assume C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\PortalProtect as
          the installation folder).

   - Temp folder:
      C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\PortalProtect\temp
   - Backup folder, whose default location is:
      C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\PortalProtect\storage\Backup
   - Shared Resource Pool folder, whose default location is:
      C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\PortalProtect\SharedResPool

   For example: if using Trend Micro ServerProtect, add these folders to
                the Exclude folder list.


7. Known Issues
========================================================================
   7.1 When "Attempt to clean infected documents" is disabled,
   PortalProtect does not clean the file but the virus log and message
   on SharePoint indicates that the 'Clean' action was performed.
   =====================================================================
   The clean action is determined by PortalProtect when it scans a
   cleanable infected file, however, the clean action will not occur
   when the "Attempt to clean infected documents" setting is disabled.

   7.2 SharePoint sometimes displays exceptions after PortalProtect
   blocks infected files.
   =====================================================================
   SharePoint contains special list types like calendar, tasks, and
   announcements, which can have files attached. If one of these lists
   has an infected attachment, PortalProtect will scan and block it.
   However, after this blocking action occurs, SharePoint displays the
   PortalProtect action as an exception, because it is determined by
   SharePoint as an abnormal behavior.

   7.3 PortalProtect manual scan does not scan files in the recycle bin
   or version history.
   =====================================================================
   The files in the recycle bin or SharePoint version history are
   unavailable to PortalProtect manual scan. Therefore, if a previously
   infected file is contained in the SharePoint version history or
   recycle bin, PortalProtect will be unable to scan it. However,
   if the content of recycle bin or version history is restored, it will
   be scanned and protected.
