Virus Scanning Utilities

Every StarTeam Server computer should be equipped with a virus protection utility that has up-to-date virus definition files. All StarTeam Servers should also be equipped with up-to-date virus protection and the settings should be set to alert only the administrator. The StarTeam administrator should halt the StarTeam Server immediately upon virus detection, perform a full backup, and then follow the instructions provided by the virus protection vendor for cleaning the virus from the infected file. If the infected file cannot be cleaned or if problems exist, contact http://supportline.microfocus.com before restarting the StarTeam Server. Some viruses can be immediately destructive to the repository and in rare cases data loss will be inevitable. We strongly recommend that you perform regular backups.

A virus that might be a nuisance to a file system can be far more destructive when checked into the repository. For example, many virus protection utilities are set by default or can be set to delete infected files. If an archive file is deleted by the virus protection utility, data may be lost.

Another example is that a virus may not be detected in the archive and may sit dormant waiting to infect the computers of all project users. Your network will rapidly spread the virus and a data loss could occur.

Note: If any process or program such as anti-virus software alters files under StarTeam control the system could behave erratically. It is highly recommended that these processes not be allowed to modify system or data files under StarTeam control.
