System Global Optimize; Config Antivirus Heuristic - Fortinet FortiGate FortiGate-5001 Administration Manual

CLI configuration

system global optimize

config antivirus heuristic

308
The optimize feature configures CPU settings to ensure efficient operation of the
FortiGate unit for either antivirus scanning or straight throughput traffic. When
optimize is set to antivirus, the FortiGate unit uses symmetric multiprocessing to
spread the antivirus tasks to several CPUs, making scanning faster.

Example
This example shows how to set the FortiGate unit to optimize operations for antivirus
scanning.
config system global
set optimize antivirus
end
The FortiGate heuristic antivirus engine performs tests on files to detect virus-like
behavior or known virus indicators. Heuristic scanning is performed last, after file
blocking and virus scanning have found no matches. In this way, heuristic scanning
may detect new viruses, but may also produce some false positive results.
The heuristic engine is enabled by default to pass suspected files to the recipient and
send a copy to quarantine. Once configured in the CLI, heuristic is enabled in a
protection profile when Virus Scan is enabled.
Use the heuristic command to change the heuristic scanning mode.
