AlertAction
Action when detecting viruses or unwanted programs:
If RepairConcerningFiles is not set or repair is not possible, access to the file is
blocked and the action is logged. The following options define the actions of the CLS
(check the user permissions!):
• none or ignore: no further action
• rename or ren: renaming the file by adding the .XXX extension.
• delete or del: delete the concerning file.
• quarantine: move the concerning file into quarantine directory, if you have
defined one (see below).
You can select only one of these options. If more than one is activated, AntiVir applies the
last one selected in the configuration file. Default:
AlertAction none
Quarantine
Directory
You have to define the quarantine directory, if you want to use the quarantine option
for AlertAction (see above). Default is:
QuarantineDirectory /home/quarantine
ExcludePattern
Excluded PCRE patterns from on-demand scanning:
This option specifies files/directories that should be excluded from on-demand 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..
ExcludeExt
Excluded file extensions:
This option allows you to specify file extensions that should be excluded from on-demand
scanning.
ExcludeExt [spec]
where [spec] is a colon-separated list of file extensions, e.g. exe:bat:com.
Default: ExcludeExt NONE
Although filenames often indicate the file type (even under Unix),
there is no technical connection between filenames and file types
under Unix. Therefore it may be a security flaw to exclude certain files
from being scanned based on filenames.
When scanning symbolic links, the files they point to are matched.
