Access is only granted to virus-free items or when a present virus has been removed. Infected documents can be cleaned, stopped, stopped if not cleaned, or logged only, all depending on user settings. NVC v5 for Lotus Domino protects the 3 main entree points for viruses on this platform using real-time scanning;

• E-mail attachments
• Database replication
• Database access 

Updating virus definition files and scanner engine through Norman Internet Update Updated virus definition files, scanner engine, or NVC v5 modules are available for download by Norman Internet Update.You can configure NVC v5 to look for updates automatically and by doing this, NVC v5 for Lotus Domino updates itself dynamically and without any user interaction.
