I'm using KAV WS 6.0.2.678 with Admin Kit 6.0.1405. We have Exchange with a spam filter appliance that sends items to the junk e-mail folder in Outlook.

Because of this we turned off Anti-Spam in a policy. It seems that KAV is still scanning Outlook because we get a bunch of events saying it found a Trojan/Virus in the deleted items folder, after we empty the junk mail folder.

Here is an example of the event:

Severity: Critical
Application: Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations
Version number: 6.0.2.678
Task name: Quarantine (no task is listed called this under the computer)
Computer: PCNAME
Group: GROUPNAME
Time: TIME
Description: Quarantine: File Outlook\Mailbox - USERNAME\Top of Information Store\Deleted Items\EMAILSUBJECT detected modification of Trojan program 'Trojan-Spy.HTML.Fraud.gen'.

What is scanning Outlook?

Thanks!

Hello,

It does not concern the Anti-Spam module of KAV, a virus has been detected in attachment of an email which is located in the "Deleted Items" folder of the mail client.

Just delete this email definitively to get ride of this alert message.

Best Regards,
DB

Which module is scanning this? The real-time scan?

I would prefer it not to do it at all, since it isn't necessary. Is there a way to exclude it?

Sorry quarantine tasks has not exlusion.

Just clean quarantine storage by deleting this object.
You can do it by means AdminKit \ Network Quarantine or local KAv for WKS 6.0 GUI.
