Specify scanning engines to be used when F-Secure Content Scanner
Server scans files for viruses, and the files that should be scanned.
Scan Engines

Malfunctions
Scan Inside Archives
Max Levels in Nested
Archives
Centrally Managed Administration
Scan engines can be enabled or disabled. If
you want to disable the scan just for certain
files, enter the appropriate file extensions to
Excluded extensions field and separate each
extension with a space. The Excluded
extensions field supports * and ? wildcards.
Specify how the product reacts if it cannot
scan a file.
Return Scan Error - Drop the file being
scanned and send a scan error.
Scan with Other Engines - Scan the file with
other available scan engines.
Specify whether files inside compressed
archive files should be scanned for viruses, if
they are not excluded from scanning.
Scanning inside archives takes time.
Disabling scanning inside archives improves
performance, but it also means that the
network users need to use up-to-date virus
protection on their workstations.
If Scan Inside Archives is enabled, F-Secure
Content Scanner Server can scan files
inside archives that may exist inside of other
archives. Furthermore, these nested
archives can contain other archives.
