Scan settings
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Scan archives | This check box enables or disables scan of archives. If the check box is selected, the application scans the archives. To scan an archive, the application has to unpack it first, which may slow down scanning. You can reduce the archive scan time by configuring the Skip object if scan takes longer than (sec) and Skip objects larger than (MB) settings in the General scan settings section. If the check box is cleared, the application does not scan the archives. The check box is selected by default. |
Scan SFX archives | This check box enables or disables self-extracting archive scans. Self-extracting archives are the archives that contain an executable extraction module. If the check box is selected, the application scans self-extracting archives. If the check box is cleared, the application does not scan self-extracting archives. This check box is available if the Scan archives check box is unchecked. The check box is selected by default. |
Scan mail databases | This check box enables or disables scans of mail databases of Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, The Bat!, and other mail applications. If the check box is selected, the application scans mail database files. If the check box is cleared, the application does not scan mail database files. This check box is cleared by default. |
Scan mail format files | This check box enables or disables scan of files of plain-text email messages. If this check box is selected, the application scans plain-text messages. If this check box is cleared, the application does not scan plain-text messages. This check box is cleared by default. |
Skip object if scan takes longer than (sec) | A field for specifying the maximum time to scan an object, in seconds. After the specified time, the application stops scanning the object. Available values: 0–9999. If the value is set to 0, the scan time is unlimited. Default value: 0. |
Skip objects larger than (MB) | The field for specifying the maximum size of an archive to scan, in megabytes. Available values: 0–999999. If the value is set to 0, the application scans objects of any size. Default value: 0. |
Log clean objects | This check box enables or disables the logging of ObjectProcessed type events. If this check box is selected, the application logs events of the ObjectProcessed type for all scanned objects. If this check box is cleared, the application does not log events of the ObjectProcessed type for any scanned object. This check box is cleared by default. |
Log unprocessed objects | This check box enables or disables the logging ObjectNotProcessed type events if a file cannot be processed during a scan. If this check box is selected, the application logs the events of the ObjectNotProcessed type. If this check box is cleared, the application does not log the events of the ObjectNotProcessed type. This check box is cleared by default. |
Log packed objects | This check box enables or disables the logging of PackedObjectDetected type events for all packed objects that are detected. If this check box is selected, the application logs the events of the PackedObjectDetected type. If this check box is cleared, the application does not log the events of the PackedObjectDetected type. This check box is cleared by default. |
Use iChecker technology | This check box enables or disables scan of only new and modified since the last scan files. If the check box is selected, the application scans only new files or the files modified since the last scan. If the check box is cleared, the application scans the files regardless of the creation or modification date. The check box is selected by default. |
