Avira AntiVir Server
If this option is enabled, the Scanner detects whether a file is a packed file format
(archive), even if the file extension differs from the usual extensions, and scans the
archive. However, for this every file must be opened - which reduces the scanning speed.
Example: if a *.zip archive has the file extension *.xyz, the Scanner also unpacks this
archive and scans it. This option is enabled as the default setting.
Note
Only those archive types are supported, which are marked in the archive list.
Limit recursion depth
Unpacking and scanning recursive archives can require a great deal of computer time and
resources. If this option is enabled, you limit the depth of the scan in multi-packed
archives to a certain number of packing levels (maximum recursion depth). This saves
time and computer resources.
Note
In order to find a virus or an unwanted program in an archive, the Scanner must scan up
to the recursion level in which the virus or the unwanted program is located.
Maximum recursion depth
In order to enter the maximum recursion depth, the option Limit recursion depth must
be enabled.
You can either enter the requested recursion depth directly or by means of the right
arrow key on the entry field. The permitted values are 1 to 99. The standard value is 20
which is recommended.
Default values
The button restores the pre-defined values for scanning archives.
Archives
In this display area you can set which archives the Scanner should scan. For this, you
must select the relevant entries.
10.1.5 Exceptions
File objects to be omitted for the scanner
The list in this window contains files and paths that should not be included by the
Scanner in the scan for viruses or unwanted programs.
Please enter as few exceptions as possible here and really only files that, for whatever
reason, should not be included in a normal scan. We recommend that you always scan
these files for viruses or unwanted programs before they are included in this list!
Note
The entries on the list must not result in more than 6000 characters in total.
Warning
These files are not included in a scan!
Note
The files included in this list are entered in the report file. Please check the report file
from time to time for unscanned files, as perhaps the reason you excluded a file here no
longer exists. In this case you should remove the name of this file from this list again.
