When alert banner is displayed, it could imply that there is an issue with the virus scanning, resulting in attachment being in the queue for more than 30 minutes.

Admins can:

• Observe if number of attachments in the queue decreases.

• Check the logs for any errors.

• Verify that virus scanner is working by running a manual scan.
