Avira GmbH Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional (UNIX) 20
You can specify only one folder in a command line. You can enter more folders by typing
the command for each one. Example:
IncludePath /var/tmp
IncludePath /tmp
ExcludePath
Excluded directories:
If you dont want all subfolders within an IncludePath to be protected, AntiVir Guard
can exclude certain folders from scanning. For example, a folder containing temporary
files of AntiVir components. There is no default setting.
You can specify only one path in a command line (trailing slash necessary). You can enter
more, by typing the command for each one. Example:
ExcludePath /home/log/
ExcludePath /pub/log/
ExcludePattern
Excluded PCRE patterns from on-access scanning:
This option specifies files/directories that should be excluded from on-access scanning.
The files/directories are not scanned, if their names match the given PCRE pattern (Perl-
compatible regular expression).
ExcludePattern [regex]
You can also exclude multiple PCRE patterns from the scan. Simply combine all the
expressions you want to exclude by specifying one after the other as consecutive
configuration file options. Example:
ExcludePattern usr/share
ExcludePattern src/kernels
ExcludePattern usr/lib
ExcludePattern(so|h|mo|gz)$
Default: ExcludePattern NONE.
If no folder is specified, AntiVir Guard will not start!
Dazuko3 ignores this option. It it therefore not advisable to use it in
conjunction with Dazuko3. AntiVir Guard will otherwise fail to start.
Although file names often indicate the file type (even under Unix),
there is no technical connection between file names and file types
under Unix. Therefore it may be a security flaw to exclude certain files
from being scanned based on file names.
Please take into account that filenames are normalized before the
pattern match is applied. Therefore, parts of the pathname may also
trigger an unwanted match if the expression is not written carefully.
When scanning symbolic links, the files they point to are matched.
