Note: Upgrade or reinstall the product above similar PSB products is not supported. Uninstall PSB Sever Security or PSB E-mail and Server Security before installing this product. 5.6 Using pre-installed Microsoft SQL Server Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Express Edition is distributed with the product and included in the product installation package. If you need to use F-Secure E-mail and Server Security with your own installation of Microsoft SQL Server, make sure that you select the Mixed mode in the Authentication mode page. To change the authentication mode after the installation, refer to the Microsoft SQL Server documentation. 5.7 Reconfiguration of Quarantine storage During the installation, F-Secure E-mail and Server Security is configured to exclude all its working folders from the real-time file scanning to prevent interferences with any operation of the e-mail scanning. If the location of the Quarantine storage folder is changed in future, you need to reconfigure the product to
exclude the folder from the real-time file scan. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions on adding such exclusions. 5.8 Uninstallation instructions To uninstall F-Secure Server Security or F-Secure E-mail and Server Security, use Programs and Features (former Add or Remove Programs) from the Windows Control Panel. Restart the server after uninstalling all the components. Note: Some files and directories may remain under the product installation directory (%ProgramFiles(x86)%\F-Secure), programs data directory (%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\F-Secure), and user s temporary directories (%TEMP%) after you uninstall the product. We recommend that you remove these directories and files manually. 6. Known issues 6.1 Installation and uninstallation Admin.pub cannot be located during installation on Windows Server Core edition (CTS-69882) When installing the product on Windows Server Core platform, the Browse button in the Setup wizard is not functioning because the common Windows dialog is missing. As the workaround, you can enter the path to the admin.pub file manually. Entering full license key does not activate On Access Scanning and On Demand Scanning immediately (CTS-70470) When your evaluation version of the product expires and you enter the full license key, on-access and ondemand scanning may not be activated immediately and thus not provide full server protection. It may take up to half an hour before the product gets fully functional. In order to speed up the license activation process, you can restart FSGKHS service or reboot the server. Shifting evaluation license from one product edition to another is not supported You cannot register the evaluation installation of F-Secure Server Security with the full license key for F Secure E-mail and Server Security or vice versa. If you want to purchase a license for different product, uninstall the evaluation product first. Setup displays "STSADM.EXE - Application Error" dialog when user enters account with not enough permissions (CSEP-1362) In some cases, you can experience appearance of an alienated dialog even though the error has been handled by the usual error handling service. Closing the dialog shows the error then in the correct dialog. Anti-Virus for Microsoft SharePoint Working folder is not deleted (CSEP-1390) Working folder created during setup is not deleted due to missing permissions. You still can delete it manually, taking ownership and granting Full Control permissions. Uninstallation status Failed: F-Secure Management Agent could not get the results for the previous installation... (CSEP-1395) In some cases, the uninstallation from PMC will produce the above status message. This status message does not reflect the real status. The uninstallation is successful but it produces the confusing message.
At uninstallation: call the STSADM.EXE may fail (CSEP-1345) Uninstallation of Anti-Virus for Microsoft SharePoint tries to change SharePoint anti-virus settings back. This operation may fail, if the user that runs uninstallation does not have permissions to change settings (a special account is used for that). After uninstallation completes, please login to SharePoint Management Console and make sure Scan on upload and Scan on download anti-virus settings are switched off. 6.2 Anti-Virus for Microsoft SharePoint Quarantine is not supported The current release of Anti-Virus for Microsoft SharePoint blocks infected or malware files in real-time: on uploading or downloading. It does not put such files to quarantine. Use Anti-Virus at file level for disinfection or quarantining the files in question. Scanning on demand is not supported The current release of Anti-Virus for Microsoft SharePoint blocks infected or malware files only on accessing them: when the file is downloading from the SharePoint database. It does not provide manual (on-demand) or scheduled scan of the SharePoint database. The setting "list of files to be excluded from scan inside archives for AV4SP doesn t work (CSEP- 1393) Although an extension is specified in the list of files to be excluded, such files are anyway scanned inside archives. 6.3 Virus and Spyware Protection Scanning big folders does not disinfect found malware if scanning is interrupted (CTS-68901) When a manual scan task that was started from the Web Console is interrupted, the admin-defined actions may not take place for found malware or spyware items. You need to run the manual scanning again and wait until it is completed for the actions to take place. EFS encrypted file cannot be scanned via scheduled scanning (CTS-88303/CSEP-221) Scheduled scan fails to scan an encrypted file with eicar.com inside and returns the error "file cannot be opened". There can be many users on a server and every user can have own encrypted files. To scan such files, scanning must run under user credentials, while scheduled scan runs under the local system account. Workaround is to use manual scan for those files. 6.4 DeepGuard DeepGuard installation requires Microsoft Windows 2003 Server reboot If the product is installed with DeepGuard protection component on Microsoft Windows 2003 Server platforms, you need to restart the server to finalize the installation. DeepGuard 5 does not work on Windows Server 2003 64-bit The 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003 does not include upgraded driver support routines of Microsoft's PatchGuard, which prevents kernel modifications. This makes this specific version of Windows incompatible with DeepGuard. If you are using the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003, we recommend that you upgrade your operating system to benefit from our award winning DeepGuard technology. 6.5 Browsing Protection
Change in Browsing protection settings may look ineffective due to caching Sometimes it may seem that a change in Browsing protection settings is not applied, because the browser finds the page content from the cache. Use Ctrl-F5 to ignore the cache and reload the content. Browsing protection search results Browsing protection does not show safety ratings on search result pages that use HTTPS. 6.6 Web Traffic Scanning Web Traffic Scanning does not handle encrypted traffic The current version of NIF-based Web Traffic Scanning cannot handle the content of encrypted network traffic, e.g. HTTPS protocol. Web Traffic Scanning causes download speed to decrease (CTS-90775/SPT-255) In some cases, the download speed is affected by Web Traffic Scanning resulting in slow download speeds. 6.7 Web Console Manual Scanning does not allow to scan mapped network drives/shares (CTS-70572) When you log in to Web Console, it does not load the full user profile, so you cannot scan a network drive or share from the manual scanning page. Scan network drives/shares with Virus and spyware scanning menu from F-Secure icon in the system tray or with the Scan Folder for Viruses menu from Windows Explorer. Internet Explorer 8 may show the security warning on the login page (CTS-70956) If the session expires, the Web Console returns to the login page automatically. When this happens, Internet Explorer 8 may show the security warning about content that may be delivered using non-secure connection. You can ignore this warning. Web Console might delay on refreshing the page automatically Sometimes after you change and save a new setting (for example, Language of the user interface), there may be a few second delay while the Web Console tries to automatically refresh the page. 6.8 Cluster environments Messages may not be scanned when Exchange is moved from one cluster node to another (CTS- 62925) When Exchange cluster groups are moved from one node to another, while the product is running on Active-Passive cluster environment, F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange service can be down for a short time. While the service is down, some e-mail messages may not be scanned on the transport level. However, all e-mail messages and attachments are scanned without interruptions on the storage level. Incorrect quarantine statistics are shown when Web Console is open on the passive node (CTS- 63021) Quarantine and other product statistics are not updated on the passive node as some of the product services are down or suspended. Therefore, when you connect to the Web Console on the passive node, the product status and statistics are not shown correctly. We strongly recommend that you connect to the
Web Console using the name or IP address of the cluster instead of the name or IP address of the cluster nodes. 6.9 Disclaimers Disclaimers are not added to messages release from quarantine (CTS-67265) Disclaimers are not added to outbound mails that are manually released from the Quarantine, since it is not possible to say if they are safe or not. Disclaimer is not added to TNEF mails with empty body (CTS-70123) Disclaimer is not added to TNEF encoded mails with empty body that have no text and no attachments. This problem occurs only on Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Disclaimer is not added to mails if sender/recipient is in the list of trusted senders/recipients (CTS- 70124) If the e-mail sender or recipient is included to the Trusted Senders or Trusted Recipients list, the disclaimer is not added to the message. 6.10 Quarantine Recipients are not listed for quarantined attachments that are blocked in real-time (CTS-73434) If malicious or disallowed attachments are blocked during real-time scanning in the Exchange store, they are listed in the Quarantine Query without the name of the corresponding recipient mailbox where they have been blocked. However, the information about the mailbox that contains the malicious or disallowed attachment can be found in the product alerts. 7.
