Displays the custom settings for the scan
engine.
Specify a space-separated list of file
extensions excluded from scanning by the
engine. You can also use wildcards: '?'
matches exactly one character, '*' matches
any number of characters, including zero (0)
characters. For example: "PP? PDF X*".
Select whether F-Secure Content Scanner
Server should scan files inside the archives for
possible infections. The supported archive
formats are: ARJ, BZ2, CAB, GZ, JAR, LZH,
MSI, RAR, TAR, TGZ, Z and ZIP.
The archive itself is scanned if that is configured
with the other scanning settings. This is the
case, for example, if the product is configured to
scan all files.
Scanning inside archive files takes time and
uses more system resources. Disabling this
setting increases performance, but it is not
recommended as it causes a security risk.
Nested archives are archives inside other
archives. Set the number of levels in nested
archives F-Secure Content Scanner Server
should scan. Note that nested archives can be
used in denial-of-service attacks, so it is not
recommended to set the maximum value to a
very high number.
