Printing GS1 - 12 in Microsoft Office MOSS Installation

While every computer should have antivirus protection, not every antivirus system is designed to work with MOSS If the antivirus protection system is installed on the server running MOSS, you can configure SharePoint s antivirus protection settings to define whether or not, and when, uploaded or downloaded documents are virus scanned This can also include options as to whether users are permitted to download an infected document knowingly, as well as the timeout period for the antivirus scan and how many instances of the antivirus program can run on the server

To configure the antivirus settings for MOSS, assuming your antivirus is compatible with MOSS (check with your antivirus vendor), perform the following tasks: 1 Open the SharePoint Central Administration page and locate the Security Configuration section
