Configuring the anti-virus protection system

Excluded objects can be specified using masks containing the following
wildcards:
* – arbitrary string of characters. E.g., the abc* mask will prevent the application
from scanning all files with names beginning with the abc string (abc.exe,
abc1.com, abc2.rar).
? – any single character. E.g., the abc?.exe mask will prevent the application
from scanning files containing the specified sequence of characters and any
symbol following с, for example, abc1.exe. However, the abc12345.exe file
will be scanned.
To define several masks, enter them in the Filtering by name field using the ;
character as a delimiter.
Filtering by file name is case-insensitive.
•
Filtering by type. The option allows selecting the following file formats:
•
Executable files – .exe or .dll files. It is not recommended to disable the
setting excluding such files from scanning.
•
Graphical files – graphic files in jpg, gif, bmp, png formats.
•
Multimedia files – multimedia files in avi, wmv, wav, mpg, swf formats.
•
Archives - files of certain archive formats (zip, rar, cab).
•
Documents – document files in Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat
formats (doc, xls, pdf).
Actions applied to objects after filtering are configured in the Antivirus kernel / Actions window.
Please note that an infected e-mail object cannot be restored from Quarantine
while anti-virus scanning of replications is enabled. Upon an attempt to replicate
an object restored from Quarantine, Kavreplmonitor will intercept it and send
the object again for anti-virus scanning and processing.
