For ease of administration, the optimal performance settings of the antivirus module and antivirus filtering settings are pre-configured in the product and do not require manual configuration. If necessary, the settings are optimized in SafeUTM version updates.

The antivirus module is connected to a proxy server and a content filter, so it filters web traffic when the following conditions are met:

- The web resource is not in the proxy server's exclusion lists for its intended purpose.
- The user to whom the traffic is incoming is not included in the proxy server exceptions by source.
- The HTTPS site is checked only if the HTTPS traffic is decrypted by a content filter.
