Directory

Temporary location of Guard files:

Note: Please make sure that there is sufficient disk space, i.e. at least 4GB, available at the

location of the temporary files directory.

ScanMode

Configuring files to be scanned:

This entry sets the procedure to determine whether a file is to be scanned or not. The

available methods are:

• extlist: scan only files with certain extensions;

• smart: scan files based on both their name and file type;

• all: always scan files, of all types and names.

The default is:

ScanMode all

ArchiveScan

Scanning archives on-access:

AntiVir Guard scans archives when opened, depending on the setting for

ArchiveMaxSize, ArchiveMaxRecursion and ArchiveMaxRatio. This is

activated by default in order to maintain the highest security:

ArchiveScan yes

MailboxScan

Scanning mailbox containers on-access:

If ArchiveScan is set to yes, AntiVir Guard scans mailboxes on-access, when the

following option is active:

MailboxScan yes

This is active by default.

ArchiveMax

Size

Maximum archive size:

This option limits the scanning process to the files with unpacked size smaller than the

specified value (in bytes, KB, MB, GB). The zero value means no limit. The default setting

is approx. 1 Gigabyte:

ArchiveMaxSize 1GB

ArchiveMax

Recursion

Maximum recursion level:

When scanning recursive archives, the level of recursion can be limited. The zero value

means all archives are completely unpacked, regardless of their recursion level. Default:

ArchiveMaxRecursion 20
