Overview
Configuration
Files
The configuration is defined in four files:
•
avguard.conf
defines the behavior of the resident AntiVir Guard, as well as logfiles
when detecting viruses and unwanted programs.
•
avupdater.conf
defines the automatic updates and the logfiles of the software.
•
vscan-antivir.conf
and
avsamba.conf
define the behavior of AntiVir Samba Scanner.
Configuration
Script
You can use the configuration script
configantivir
in
/usr/lib/AntiVir
to edit the settings of
the Internet Updater (They correspond to the settings in
avupdater.conf
).
4.2
Configuration Files
This part describes the structure of AntiVir UNIX Server configuration files. AntiVir reads
these files on program start-up. It ignores empty lines and commented lines beginning
with #.
The program is provided with default values, which are important for many procedures.
Some options can be deactivated with a # at the beginning of the line (commented) or can
be set with default values. These can be activated by removing the # character or by
changing the values.
The settings can be made directly in the configuration files. This is
not very difficult.
A more convenient way is to use the graphical interface or the script
included in the program kit. These intercept the eventual errors and
restart the necessary processes.
