EmailTo
Email messages:
AntiVir Guard can send emails, when it detects viruses or unwanted programs. There is
no default setting. You must setup your mail daemon and specify a recipient in order to
send emails:
EmailTo root@localhost
Suppress
Notification
Below
Filtering email notifications as required:
This option can exclude certain messages, when notifications are sent, according to their
priority level. The recipients will only receive notifications with the selected priority or
higher.
Syntax:
SuppressNotificationBelow scanner <level>
The possible priority levels (in ascending order) are notice, information,
warning, error and alert.
Example:
SuppressNotificationBelow scanner warning
LogFile
Logfile:
AntiVir logs all important operations via the syslog daemon. It can also create an
additional logfile. There is no default setting. You must enter the full path to the logfile in
order to use this option:
LogFile /var/log/avguard.log
Syslog...
Syslog settings:
AntiVir Server/ Professional sends messages for all important operations to the syslog
daemon. You may specify the facility and priority for these messages. Default is:
SyslogFacility user
SyslogPriority notice
Setting the SyslogPriority determines that all those messages which are equal or
higher than the priority specified are logged. Consequently you receive with the
Priority Warning all those messages labelled Alert, Error or Warning. Since
Info has a lower priority than Warning you will not receive any Info messages.
These values apply even if the LogFile option is not active.
DetectPrefixes
Detection of other types of unwanted programs:
Besides viruses, there are other types of harmful or unwanted software. You can activate
their detection using the following options. The virus detection is not optional and you
can not deactivate it. The available categories are:
• adspy - software that displays advertising pop-ups or software that very often with-
out the user's consent sends user specific data to third parties and might therefore be
unwanted.
• appl - an application of dubious origin or which might be hazardous to use.
• bdc - the Control software for backdoors. BDCs are generally harmless.
• dial - a Dial-Up program for connections that charge a fee. Its use might lead to
huge costs for the user.
• game - a game, that causes no damage on your computer.
There are no status reports on the invocation of external programs.
