Avira Server Security - User Manual (Status: 23 Sep. 2011) 42 Reference: Configuration options 9. 1. 3 Archives When scanning archives, the System Scanner uses a recursive scan: Archives in archives are also unpacked and scanned for viruses and unwanted programs. Scan archives If this option is enabled, the selected archives in the archive list are scanned. All archive types If this option is enabled, all archive types in the archive list are selected and scanned. Smart Extensions If this option is enabled, the System Scanner detects whether a file is a packed file format (archive), even if the file extension differs from the usual extensions, and scans the archive. However every file must be opened for this, which reduces the scanning speed. Example: If a *. zip archive has the file extension *. xyz, the System Scanner also unpacks this archive and scans it. Note Only those archive types marked in the archive list are supported. Limit recursion depth Unpacking and scanning recursive archives can require a great deal of computer time and resources. If this option is enabled, you limit the depth of the scan in multi-packed archives to a certain number of packing levels (maximum recursion depth). Note In order to find a virus or an unwanted program in an archive, the System Scanner must scan up to the recursion level in which the virus or the unwanted program is located. Maximum recursion depth In order to enter the maximum recursion depth, the option Limit recursion depth must be enabled. You can either enter the requested recursion depth directly or by means of the right arrow key on the entry field. Default values The button restores the pre-defined values for scanning archives. Avira Server Security - User Manual (Status: 23 Sep. 2011) 43 Reference: Configuration options Archives In this display area you can set which archives the System Scanner should scan. For this, you must select the relevant entries. 9. 1. 4 Exceptions File objects to be omitted for the System Scanner The list in this window contains files and paths that should not be included by the System Scanner in the scan for viruses or unwanted programs. Please enter as few exceptions as possible here and really only files that, for whatever reason, should not be included in a normal scan. We recommend that you always scan these files for viruses or unwanted programs before they are included in this list!Note The entries in the list must not result in more than 6000 characters in total. Warning These files are not included in a scan! Note The files included in this list are recorded in the report file. Please check the report file from time to time for unscanned files, as perhaps the reason you excluded a file here no longer exists. [. . . ] New files have been installed If this option is enabled, an email is sent for all updates performed: This may be a product update or an update of the virus definition file or of the scanning engine. Edit The "Edit" button opens the "Email template" window in which you can configure the notification for an "Update successful ­ new files installed" event. You have the option of inserting text for the subject line and body of the email. A new product update is available If this option is enabled, an email is only sent if an update of the scanning engine or virus definition file was performed without a product update, but a product update is available.
