You can add a virus scan engine only if the virus scanning protocol is set to ICAP.

Note: If RPC protocol is used to configure a virus scanning engine, the virus scanner should be configured to make a connection to the EVS. When a successful connection is made, the virus scan engine appears in the Registered Virus Scan Engines list.

Navigate to Data Management > Protection > Antivirus > Virus Scanning.
In the Virus Scanning pane, select the EVS on which you want to add the virus scan engine from the list of EVS instances.
In the Registered Virus Scan Engines pane, click Add Scan Engine.
In the Add Scan Engine dialog box, complete the following information:
1. Verify the EVS where you want to add the virus scan engine.
2. Enter the IP address or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the virus scan engine host.
  The IP address and FQDN should be in the format 255.255.255.255 and hostname.domain.com.
3. Enter the port of the scan engine host.
  The default port is 1344.
4. Enter the name of the scan engine service provided by the ICAP virus scan engine vendor.
  The default name is AVSCANRESP.
  
  The name of the scan engine may include letters, numbers, special characters and spaces. Examples of scan engine names are Virusscanengine@1 and virus_scan 1.
Click Add. The newly added virus scan engine appears in the Registered Virus Scan Engines list for the selected EVS.
