• Description of the configuration files:
- Configuration of AntiVir Guard in avguard.conf – Page 17

4.1 Configuration Files
The configuration is defined in four files:
• /etc/avira/avguard.conf configures the on-access scanner.
• /etc/avira/avscan.conf configures the on-demand scanner.
• /etc/avira/avguard-scanner.conf configures Savapi3.
• /etc/avira/avupdate-guard.conf defines the automatic updates.
This part describes the structure of AntiVir Server/ Professional configuration files.
AntiVir Server/ Professional reads these files on program start-up. It ignores empty lines
and commented lines beginning with #.
The program is provided with default values, which are important for many procedures.
Some options can be deactivated with a # at the beginning of the line (commented) or can
be set with default values. These can be activated by removing the # character or by
changing the values.
4.1.1 Configuration of AntiVir Guard in avguard.conf
This section provides a short description of the entries in avguard.conf . The settings
affect only the behavior of AntiVir Server/ Professional and no other AntiVir programs.
OnAccess
Management
Enable/ Disable on-access protection:
This option allows you to explicitly enable/ disable on-access protection of specified
directories provided by Guard using dazukofs/dazuko kernel module.
The settings can be made directly in the configuration files or as
parameters when using the Command Line Scanner.
The parameters given in command lines take precedence of those
saved in configuration files.
You must restart the AntiVir Guard if you modify any values
manually in the configuration files. The changes only take effect after
a restart.
