[. . . ] PUP Exceptions AVG File Server 2011 is able to analyze and detect executable applications or DLL libraries that could be potentially unwanted within the system. In some cases the user may wish to keep certain unwanted programs on the computer (programs that were installed on purpose). Such adware might be detected and reported by AVG as a potentially unwanted program . If you wish to keep such a program on your computer, you can define it as a potentially unwanted program exception: The Potentially Unwanted Programs Exceptions dialog displays a list of already defined and currently valid exceptions from potentially unwanted programs. The following information can be found in the list for every single exception: · File - provides the name of the respective application · File Path - shows the way to the application's location · Checksum - displays the unique 'signature' of the chosen file. This checksum is an automatically generated string of characters, which allows AVG to unequivocally distinguish the chosen file from other files. The checksum is generated and displayed after successful addition of the file. A V G File Server 2 0 1 1 © 2 0 1 0 C opyright A V G T ec hnologies C Z, s . r. o.

This checksum is an automatically generated string of characters, which allows AVG to unequivocally distinguish the chosen file from other files. The checksum is generated and displayed after successful addition of the file. o File Info - displays any additional information available about the file ( license/version information etc. ) o Any location - do not use full path - if you want to define this file as an exception only for the specific location, then leave this checkbox unchecked. Shell Extension Scan Similar to the previous Whole Computer scan item, this item named Shell extension scan also offers several options for editing the scan predefined by the software vendor. This time the configuration is related to scanning of specific objects launched directly from the Windows Explorer environment (shell extension), see chapter Scanning in Windows Explorer: A V G File Server 2 0 1 1 © 2 0 1 0 C opyright A V G T ec hnologies C Z, s . r. o.

However, the default settings differ (for instance, Whole Computer scan by default does not check the archives but it does scan the system environment, while with the Shell Extension Scan it is the other way). Note: For a description of specific parameters please consult the chapter AVG Advanced Settings / Scans / Whole Computer scan. Compared to Whole Computer scan dialog, the Shell extension scan dialog also includes the section named Other settings related to AVG User Interface, where you can specify whether you want the scan progress and scan results to be accessible from the AVG user interface. Also, you can define that the scan result should only be displayed in case an infection is detected during scanning. 11. 6. 3. Scan Specific Files or Folders The editing interface for Scan specific files or folders is identical to the Whole Computer scan editing dialog. All configuration options are the same; however, the default settings are more strict for the Scan of the whole computer: A V G File Server 2 0 1 1 © 2 0 1 0 C opyright A V G T ec hnologies C Z, s . r. o.
