Configure AntiVir
10.2.1 Configure AntiVir
Under Configure AntiVir you can configure the heuristic scan and the logging function
of AntiVir SharePoint.
10.2.2 Scan
Under Scan you can activate options for heuristic purposes. Avira AntiVir SharePoint
contains very powerful heuristics that can proactively uncover unknown malware, i.e.
before a special virus signature to combat the damaging element has been created and
before a virus guard update has been sent. Virus detection involves an extensive analysis
and investigation of the affected codes for functions typical of malware. If the code being
scanned exhibits these characteristic features, it is reported as being suspicious
(heuristic hits). This does not necessarily mean that the code is in fact malware. False
positives do sometimes occur. Heuristic hits are treated like viruses that have been
detected from a known virus signature: The transfer of the affected files is stopped.
Macrovirus heuristics
Activate macrovirus heuristics
AntiVir contains a highly powerful macro virus heuristic. If this option is enabled,
documents are scanned for unknown macroviruses. All macros are deleted in an affected
document in the possible event of repairs.
