[. . . ] ActiveLockFile /var/lock/LCK. . avguard Default: ActiveLockFile NONE 4. 1. 2 Configuration of the Command Line Scanner in avscan. conf A new configuration file for the on-demand scanner has been introduced, starting with AntiVir Server/ Professional v 3. 0. 0: avscan. conf. Repair Concerning Files Repairing files: The CLS is trying to repair infected files. The following option must be active: RepairConcerningFiles yes It is not activated by default. Avira GmbH Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional (UNIX) 25 AlertAction Action when detecting viruses or unwanted programs: If RepairConcerningFiles is not set or repair is not possible, access to the file is blocked and the action is logged. The following options define the actions of the CLS (check the user permissions!): · none or ignore: no further action · rename or ren: renaming the file by adding the . XXX extension. · delete or del: delete the concerning file. · quarantine: move the concerning file into quarantine directory, if you have defined one (see below). You can select only one of these options. If more than one is activated, AntiVir applies the last one selected in the configuration file. Default: AlertAction none Quarantine Directory You have to define the quarantine directory, if you want to use the quarantine option for AlertAction (see above). Default is: QuarantineDirectory /home/quarantine ExcludePattern Excluded PCRE patterns from on-demand scanning: This option specifies files/directories that should be excluded from on-demand scanning. The files/directories are not scanned, if their names match the given PCRE pattern (Perlcompatible regular expression). ExcludePattern [regex] You can also exclude multiple PCRE patterns from the scan. Simply combine all the expressions you want to exclude by specifying one after the other as consecutive configuration file options. Example: ExcludePattern usr/share ExcludePattern src/kernels ExcludePattern usr/lib ExcludePattern(so|h|mo|gz)$ Default: ExcludePattern NONE. . Although filenames often indicate the file type (even under Unix), there is no technical connection between filenames and file types under Unix. Therefore it may be a security flaw to exclude certain files from being scanned based on filenames. When scanning symbolic links, the files they point to are matched. ExcludeExt Excluded file extensions: This option allows you to specify file extensions that should be excluded from on-demand scanning. ExcludeExt [spec] where [spec] is a colon-separated list of file extensions, e. g. Default: ExcludeExt NONE Avira GmbH Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional (UNIX) 26 Temporary Directory Temporary location of CLS files: Temporary files of the CLS are written in this directory. Example: TemporaryDirectory /tmp FollowSymlink Setting the on-demand scanner behavior for symlinks: Symbolic links are followed by default. You can use this option to change the behavior. FollowSymlink yes ScanMode Configuring files to be scanned: This entry sets the procedure to determine whether a file is to be scanned or not. The available methods are: · extlist: scan only files with certain extensions; · smart: scan files based on both their name and file type; · all: always scan files, of all types and names.
