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 ХML file using the following 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 rule settings ХML file for editing.
  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 ХML file, use the following 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.
