If you want to use the tag filter only and thus want to completely
deactivate the virus scanner, please add the content type "*/*".
Scanning all content types is possible, however it can result in
severe system overload. It is vital to limit the parameter "Number
of concurrent virus scanner processes" in this case. Furthermore
it is not advisable to scan endless data streams. These may
occur especially with audio and video data types ("audio/*" and
"video/*").
This component will scan only those files which have been downloaded via the
virusscanning proxy of SX-GATE. The virusscanning proxy has to be enabled. It is not
possible to scan the contents of encrypted connections, unless the option to break SSL
connections has been enabled.
Microsoft Internet explorer users from version 5 and above can
use the function "copy to folder" when clicking the right mouse
button while pointing to an FTP link. This will initiate a direct FTP
download, bypassing the web proxy. If direct FTP access has
been allowed in the firewall, the corresponding downloads will
not be scanned for viruses! However, if direct FTP access is not
permitted in the firewall, downloads using this feature will fail.
Forward password protected files unscanned
This configures how password protected files are handled. By default they will be
blocked and temporarily stored in a quarantine folder. If this option is enabled these
files will be delivered to the client without scanning for viruses.
Special handling if file size exceeds
Files that exceed 2GB in size can't be handled by the virus scanners. You are able to
lower this limit here. There is a special treatment for files which exceed this limit. Take
a look at the following parameter.
Larger downloads will be
Choose how to proceed with larger files.
Downloads from servers in the "Trusted servers (incl.
subdomains)" list will be accepted anyway.
