Configuration Files
This section describes the structure of AntiVir VSA configuration files avsapvsa.conf and
avupdater.conf. AntiVir reads these files on program start-up. It ignores empty lines and
commented lines beginning with #.
The program is provided with default values which are important for many procedures.
Some options can be deactivated with a # at the beginning of the line (commented). These
can be activated by removing the # character or by changing the values.

Configuring Regular Updates
You can make these settings directly in the configuration files. This is
not very difficult.
A more convenient way is to use the configuration script included in
the program. It intercepts possible errors and restarts the necessary
processes.
You must restart the Internet Update Daemon if you modify any
values manually in avupdater.conf, without using the configuration
script. The changes will only take effect after a restart.
Type:
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdater restart
