Installation manual

to select the correct action automatically, the program will offer a choice of follow up actions. The choice of

follow-up actions will also be displayed if a predefined action could not be completed.

Strict cleaning – The program will clean or delete all infected files (including archives). The only exceptions are

system files. If it is not possible to clean them, you will be offered an action to take in a warning window.

Warning: In the Default mode, the entire archive file is deleted only if all files in the archive are infected. If the

archive also contains legitimate files, it will not be deleted. If an infected archive file is detected in Strict cleaning

mode, the entire archive will be deleted, even if clean files are present.

NOTE: When a blue dot is shown next to a parameter, it means that current setting for this parameter differ from

setting for other modules that also use ThreatSense. Since you can configure the same parameter differently for

each module, this blue dot only reminds you that this same parameter is configured differently for other modules. If

there isn't a blue dot, parameter for all the modules is configured the same way.

4.1.7.4 Extensions

An extension is part of the file name delimited by a period. The extension defines the type and content of the file.

This section of the ThreatSense parameter setup lets you define the types of files to scan.

By default, all files are scanned regardless of their extension. Any extension can be added to the list of files excluded

from scanning. If the Scan all files option is deselected, the list changes to show all currently scanned file

extensions. Using the Add and Remove buttons, you can enable or prohibit scanning of desired extensions.

To enable scanning of files with no extension, select the Scan extensionless files option.

Excluding files from scanning is sometimes necessary if scanning certain file types prevents the program which is

using the extensions from running properly. For example, it may be advisable to exclude the .edb, .eml and .tmp

extensions when using Microsoft Exchange servers.

NOTE: When a blue dot is shown next to a parameter, it means that current setting for this parameter differ from
