DThe system will attempt to repair the attachment

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

If the McAfee antivirus scanning is enabled on the Cisco Secure Email Gateway and the virus scanning action is set to ''scan for viruses only'', then no repair is attempted, and the attachment is either dropped or delivered based on the antivirus policy settings. The administrator can choose to drop or deliver the infected attachment by selecting the appropriate action in the antivirus policy.Reference: [Cisco Secure Email Gateway Administrator Guide - Configuring McAfee Antivirus Scanning]

Yikes, a virus in an email? That's the last thing I want to see in my inbox. But I'm gonna go with B - no repair, just drop or deliver.

I think the answer is C. If the scanner finds a virus, the attachment should be dropped and replaced with a 'Removed Attachment' file, right?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the answer is B. The question says the virus scanning action is set to 'scan for viruses only', so no repair will be attempted and the attachment will either be dropped or delivered.
