Separate each name with a comma (",") by using backward matching (a file is skipped if the
trailing characters of the file name match the specified file name or extension). The setting is
not case sensitive.
The setting does not apply to files contained in archived files.
The maximum length of the setting is 1999 bytes.
Maximum scanning time
Maximum scanning time
(vsd_scantimeout)
Sets a maximum time for scanning files.
If you set the value as zero, the scanning time is unlimited.
The default is 90 seconds.
If scanning takes a long time, this setting terminates the scanning after the specified time.
Note, however, that if you set a shorter scanning time, it limits the extent to which archived and
other large files can be scanned.
Riskware scanning
Scan riskware
(riskware_check)
Enables riskware scanning. This detects riskware as well as known viruses.
For more information about riskware, see “
Riskware
”, 168.
Skip these targets
Skip scanning for riskware:
(pass_riskware)
Excludes the specified riskware from detection.
Specify riskware by using the format "Category.Platform.Family". You can use wildcards (*)
in the Category, Platform, and Family names. For example, "Client-IRC.*.*" excludes all
riskware in the Client-IRC category.
The maximum length of the setting is 1999 bytes.
Separate each setting in the setup file with a semicolon (";").
Scan the e-mail message body
Scan text body part
(virus_check_text)
Scans the body of e-mail messages. However, attached text-format files and HTML-format
e-mail body text are scanned regardless of this setting.
If you enable this setting, harmless remains of viruses may also be detected. The operating
speed may also be slightly reduced.
Because the text-format e-mail body is not executed, you do not usually need to enable this
setting.
Scan the whole HTML content in the e-mail
Scan whole html part
(virus_check_wholehtml)
Scans those parts of the HTML content of an e-mail that probably do not execute viruses
(unlike parts such as ActiveX and scripts).
If you enable this setting, some suspicious e-mail can also be detected (in addition to viruses).
The suspicious e-mail can be, for example, phishing e-mails or virus fragments. Enabling the
setting also reduces the operating speed slightly. Because viruses contained in HTML are
detected regardless of this setting, you do not usually need to enable this setting.
