Task settings – General

Task name. The name should not be identical to the names of other tasks.

Enabling incremental (light) scanning of files on a protected SharePoint server.

If this check box is selected, when running the task, the application scans only those files that have been modified since the previous scan. The application does not scan files that have not been modified. This allows minimizing the task runtime and reducing the workload on the SharePoint server.

If this check box is cleared, incremental scanning is not applied. The application scans all files that meet the scan criteria.

The check box is selected by default.

Saves object copies in Backup.

If this check box is selected, the application saves copies of objects in Backup in the following cases:

• Before disinfecting / deleting an infected or possibly infected file
• before deleting a password-protected file;
• before deleting a corrupted file;
• before deleting a file with unwanted content.

If the check box is cleared, the application does not save the object copies in Backup.

The check box is selected by default.

Enables the scanning of SharePoint service files.

If this check box is selected, the application scans service files for viruses and unwanted content.

Service files in SharePoint include:

• files not included into any list of documents (for example, into a SharePoint library);
• files present on the list of documents, but actually structured as a web form or a view.

Popular formats of service files are ASPX, HTML, MHT, and INI.

If this check box is cleared, the application does not scan service files.

The check box is cleared by default.

If a virus is detected in a service file of ASPX format, the application only deletes the file's contents. The application does not delete service files that contain unwanted content.

Stop task automatically when specified time interval expires.

If this check box is selected, the application limits the task run time. In the scroll box on the right, you can specify the maximum allowed task duration in hh:mm format. If the task is not completed when the specified time interval expires, the application stops the task. The maximum task run time is 30 minutes. The default task run time is 3 hours.

If this check box is cleared, the task run time is unlimited.

The check box is cleared by default.

Limits the duration of object scanning.

If this check box is selected, the application limits the object scan time (e.g., when scanning a file). In the spin box on the right, you can specify the maximum allowed scan time (in seconds). When the specified time expires, the application stops the object scan and proceeds to another object. If an object scan has been stopped due to the expiration of the specified time interval, the application assigns the Not infected status to the object.

Possible values in this field span from 30 to 60,000 seconds. The default scan timeout is 30 seconds.

If the check box is cleared, the object scan time is unlimited.

The check box is cleared by default.

If this check box is selected, the application scans the most recent versions of files stored on SharePoint websites when running the task.

You can specify which formats and file names must be excluded from scan by using the Exclusions from Anti-Virus scan tab.

If the check box is cleared, Anti-Virus scan is disabled.

The check box is selected by default.
