User manual

When scanning is restarted, all elements in the Information Store are checked one more
time. This applies to all three scan modes. If you have enabled background scanning, this
scan may take a long time and use a lot of processor capacity. It is therefore advisable to
restart scanning during periods of low system usage.
4.4 File Restrictions for Attachments
Files can be restricted according to their type and size: you can deny specific file types
and you can specify maximum message and attachment sizes. Both the size and the
type of attachments can also be checked with a single job.
4.4.1 By Type
AntiVir must be able to identify files according to their type. This is done by way of file
fingerprints, which contain a binary file pattern (for example for *.exe files) and/or the file
extension (for example for *.vbs files).
