Avira AntiVir Server

Macrovirus heuristics

Your AntiVir product contains a highly powerful macrovirus heuristic. If this option is

enabled, all macros in the relevant document are deleted in the event of a repair,

alternatively suspect documents are only reported, i.e. you receive an alert. This option is

enabled as the default setting and is recommended.

Advanced Heuristic Analysis and Detection (AHeAD)

enable AHeAD

Your AntiVir program contains a very powerful heuristic in the form of AntiVir AHeAD

technology, which can also detect unknown (new) malware. If this option is enabled, you

can define how "aggressive" this heuristic should be. This option is enabled as the default

setting.

Low detection level

If this option is enabled, slightly less unknown malware is detected, the risk of false

alerts is low in this case.

Medium detection level

This option is enabled as the default setting if you have selected the use of this heuristic.

High detection level

If this option is enabled, significantly more unknown malware is detected, but there are

also likely to be false positives.

10.2.6 Report

Guard includes an extensive logging function to provide the user or administrator with

exact notes about the type and manner of a detection.

Reporting

This group allows for the content of the report file to be determined.

Off

If this option is enabled, then Guard does not create a log.

It is recommended that you should turn off the logging function only in exceptional

cases, such as if you are executing trials with multiple viruses or unwanted programs.

Default

If this option is enabled, Guard records important information (concerning detections,

alerts and errors) in the report file, with less important information ignored for

improved clarity. This option is enabled as the default setting.

Advanced

If this option is enabled, Guard logs less important information to the report file as well.

Complete

If this option is enabled, Guard logs all available information in the report file, including

file size, file type, date, etc.
