Options section
defines the program performance settings:
CacheSize
– the quantity of files to be scanned for viruses only once,
when they are opened for the first time. The value 500 through
5000 is recommended.
!"
Some files on a computer are opened quite often and every time
they are opened, they are checked for viruses. This may result in a
decrease in performance. To avoid this problem the cache memory
was developed, which stores these files’ names and the time when
they were last checked. In this way, before checking for viruses in a
file, Monitor first searches the cache for the file details. This
accelerates the check operation, but you must remember that too
many files in the cache may also slow down the program
performance, since the time spent for the check becomes equal to
the time the program searches for the details in its cache.
OpenExcludeMask
– the path to the directory with files to be ignored
when opened. You can enter more than one path in this line, but
make sure to separate them by colons.
WriteExcludeMask
– the path to the directory with files to be ignored
when saved. You can enter more than one path in this line, but
make sure to separate them by colons.
ExecExcludeMask
– the path to the directory with files to be ignored
when executed. You can enter more than one path in this line,
but make sure to separate them by colons.
Warnings
–
Yes
in this line enables the program to report errors
. No
disables this feature.
ShowOK
–
Yes
in this line enables the program to report virus-free
objects.
No
disables this feature. It is not advisable to enable this
feature, since it slows down the program performance.
ShowCached
–
Yes
in this line enables the program to report files
described in the cache.
No
disables this feature. It is not
advisable to enable this feature, since it slows down the program
performance.
WriteInfectedAction
– defines how to handle infected objects that the
program failed to disinfect. Enter one of the following values:
•
remove
– deletes the object;
•
rename
– renames the object;
