Configuring the anti-virus protection system
21
Excluded objects can be specified using masks containing the following
wildcards:
*
– arbitrary string of characters. E.g., the
abc*
mask will prevent the application
from scanning all files with names beginning with the
abc
string (
abc.exe
,
abc1.com
,
abc2.rar
).
?
– any single character. E.g., the
abc?.exe
mask will prevent the application
from scanning files containing the specified sequence of characters and any
symbol following
с
, for example,
abc1.exe
. However, the
abc12345.exe
file
will be scanned.
To define several masks, enter them in the
Filtering by name
field using the
;
character as a delimiter.
Filtering by file name is case-insensitive.
•
Filtering by type
. The option allows selecting the following file formats:
•
Executable files
– .exe or .dll files. It is not recommended to disable the
setting excluding such files from scanning.
•
Graphical files
– graphic files in
jpg
,
gif
,
bmp
,
png
formats.
•
Multimedia files
– multimedia files in
avi
,
wmv
,
wav
,
mpg
,
swf
formats.
•
Archives
- files of certain archive formats (
zip
,
rar
,
cab
).
•
Documents
– document files in Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat
formats (
doc
,
xls
,
).
Please note that an infected e-mail object cannot be restored from Quarantine
while anti-virus scanning of replications is enabled. Upon an attempt to replicate
an object restored from Quarantine,
Kavreplmonitor
will intercept it and send
the object again for anti-virus scanning and processing.
Actions applied to objects after filtering are configured in the
Anti-
virus kernel / Actions
window.
