1. Go to Security Profiles > AntiVirus > Profiles.
2. Create a new or edit an antivirus profile.
3. Select Virus Scan and Removal for HTTP to scan web traffic for viruses.
4. Select the Virus Scan check box for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP to scan all email protocols for viruses.
5. Select OK or Apply to save the antivirus profile.
