Detecting unwanted software:
AntiVir Samba Scanner always scans for viruses in assigned files. It can also detect other
types of unwanted software if you activate the appropriate option (set it to
yes
).
antivir detect dialer = no
antivir detect game = no
antivir detect joke = no
antivir detect pms = no
antivir detect spy = no
It is also possible to activate all detection types with a single option:
antivir detect alltypes
. If set to
yes
, all the above
detect
options are
considered activated.

Configuring Regular Updates
The performance and effectiveness of antivirus software depend on updating. This is why
AntiVir offers the possibility to download current updates via HTTP from the AntiVir
webservers and even to schedule them automatically at regular intervals.
These updates ensure that AntiVir components, which provide security against viruses
and unwanted programs, are always kept up to date.
All update processes use AntiVir Command line scanner. The command
antivir --update
enables the update of AntiVir software at any time (see
Updating AntiVir Manually
–
Page 55).
There are two methods to configure AntiVir updates:
•
You can use the Internet Update Daemon provided with AntiVir, which is easy to
configure. This is recommended if you have little UNIX knowledge and if you only
want to make small adjustments.
•
You may use AntiVir with cron daemon. This is recommended if you have extensive
UNIX knowledge. You have to carry out configuration yourself, but it gives you more
flexibility.
Please note that even if the access to a file is blocked by the option
concerning file action
, it is not necessarily infected by a
virus. By default, the Scanner searches only for viruses.
