Selecting the virus database
The FortiGate unit contains the wildlist antivirus database. It is used to detect viruses in
network traffic. In addition to the wildlist antivirus database, which contains actively
spreading viruses, some newer FortiGate models are also equipped with an extended
antivirus database, which contains viruses that are not considered to be actively
spreading. If required, you can enable this feature to allow the FortiGate unit to scan for
non-active viruses. For details, see “Anti-Virus options” on page 489.
To view information about the virus databases, go to UTM > AntiVirus > Virus Database.
The FortiGuard virus definitions are updated every time the FortiGate unit receives a new
version of the FortiGuard antivirus definitions.
The FortiGuard Center Virus Encyclopedia contains detailed descriptions of the viruses,
worms, trojans, and other threats that can be detected and removed by your FortiGate unit
using the information in the FortiGuard virus definitions.
