The configuration reference documents all configuration options available in Avira
AntiVir Server.
10.1

Scanner

Here you define the basic behavior of the scan routine for an on-demand scan. If you
select certain directories to be scanned with an on-demand scan, depending on the
configuration the Scanner scans:
– with a certain scanning power (priority),
– also boot sectors and main memory,
– certain or all boot sectors and the main memory,
– all or selected files in the directory.
Files
The Scanner can use a filter to scan only those files with a certain extension (type).
All files
If this option is enabled, all files are scanned for viruses or unwanted programs,
irrespective of their content and file extension. The filter is not used.
Note
If All files is enabled, the button
Smart Extensions
If this option is enabled, the selection of the files scanned for viruses or unwanted
programs is automatically chosen by Avira AntiVir Server. This means that Avira AntiVir
Server decides whether the files are scanned or not based on their content. This
procedure is somewhat slower than Use file extension list, but more secure, since not
only on the basis of the file extension is scanned. This setting is activated by default and
is recommended.
Note
If Smart Extensions is enabled, the button
Use file extension list
If this option is enabled, only files with a specified extension are scanned. All file types
that may contain viruses and unwanted programs are preset. The list can be edited
manually via the button
Note
If this option is enabled and you have deleted all entries from the list with file
extensions, this is indicated with the text "No file extensions" under the button
