Limiting the size of objects to be scanned for viruses

You can specify the maximum size of objects to be scanned for viruses and other threats.

To restrict the size to be scanned for viruses and other threats:

  1. Export rule settings to an XML file using the command:

    # /opt/kaspersky/klms/bin/klms-control \

    --get-rule-settings <rule ID> -f <rule settings file name> or

    --get-rule-settings <rule name> -n -f <rule settings file name>

    The <rule name> should be enclosed in double quotes if it contains blanks.

  2. Open the XML file to edit the rule settings.
  3. Specify the maximum size that should be scanned (0 - no size restriction). To do so, in the <engineSettings> subsection of the <avScanSettings> section, for the <maxSizeLimit> parameter set a value under 1073741824 bytes (equal to 1 GB).
  4. Save the changes made.
  5. To import rule settings from an XML file, use the command:

    # /opt/kaspersky/klms/bin/klms-control \

    --set-rule-settings <rule ID> -f <rule settings file name> or

    --set-rule-settings <rule name> -n -f <rule settings file name>

    The <rule name> should be enclosed in double quotes if it contains blanks.
