When multilayer antivirus scanning is configured on a Cisco Email Security Appliance, the order of virus scanning is determined by the configuration. The default order of scanning engines is:

  1. Sophos engine
  2. McAfee engine
  3. Default engine

However, this order can be changed by the administrator, depending on their specific requirements.

In option A, the default engine is configured to scan for viruses first, followed by the McAfee engine. This order differs from the default order and can be set by the administrator. The Sophos engine is not included in this configuration.

In option B, the Sophos engine is configured to scan for viruses first, followed by the McAfee engine. This order matches the default order of scanning engines, so it is a valid configuration.

In option C, the McAfee engine is configured to scan for viruses first, followed by the default engine. This order differs from the default order and can be set by the administrator. The Sophos engine is not included in this configuration.

In option D, the McAfee engine is configured to scan for viruses first, followed by the Sophos engine. This order matches the default order of scanning engines, so it is a valid configuration.

In summary, the default order of virus scanning when multilayer antivirus scanning is configured on a Cisco Email Security Appliance is Sophos engine, McAfee engine, and default engine. However, this order can be customized by the administrator to meet their specific needs.
