Content is filtered by:

• file format
• file name mask You can specify masks for unwanted file names and formats.
• By the text content and names of the files. Kaspersky Security includes a preset collection of categories of unwanted words and phrases created by the experts at Kaspersky Lab. The preset collection of unwanted words and phrases cannot be modified nor updated. The window for adding new user categories of words and phrases.

File content is scanned using the libraries of filters that support the management interface used by IFilter. To enable or disable filters available on a server, you can use IFilter utility, which is installed along with Kaspersky Security.

More details about IFilter can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms691105%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.

When the application is installed, filters included in following standard filter packs are enabled by default:

• Windows Server (installed with the operating system).
• SharePoint (installed with the SharePoint server).
• Office 2007 Filter Pack
• Office 2010 Filter Pack

If other filters are installed on the SharePoint server, they are disabled by default and content filtering by format is not performed for files scanned using these filters. Use Kaspersky IFilter Utility to enable such filters.

You can enable / disable the installed filters and also install necessary additional filters using utility.

You can start the utility from the menu Start → Programs → Kaspersky Security 9.0 for SharePoint Server → Kaspersky IFilter Utility.
