Hi,

We do have Kav for ISA firewall installed on the server, but it doesn't do any 
standard AV scanning on local files other than what comes through to the web 
proxy.  Is this standard practice, or are we better to run an upstream proxy 
for AV checking?

Thanks.
Andrew.

Hi Greg,

That is correct. In a well managed ISA Firewall enviroment, there is no
need for AV/AS software on the firewall. In fact, adding this software
to the ISA Firewall can significantly increase the attack surface on the
ISA Firewall and break the ISA Firewall's security model.

Thanks!
Tom
