5.2. Anti-virus protection of file
systems
The anti-virus protection of the computer's file systems is performed using the
kavscanner component that performs the scan and processes infected and
suspicious objects based on its settings.
All settings of the kavscanner component are grouped in the [scan-
ner.*] options of the application's configuration file.
By default, only the root user can launch an on-demand scan.
You can perform the scan of the entire file system or of an individual folder or
object. All protection settings may be divided into groups that define:
•
Scan scope (see section 5.2.1 on page 33).
•
Objects scan and disinfection mode (see section 5.2.2 on page 34).
•
Actions to be performed with the objects (see section 5.2.3 on page 34).
•
Settings used for generation of the report about the operation result
(section 6.5 on page 47).
The scan of your computer's file systems may be started:
•
As a one-time task - from the command line (see section 5.2.4 on page
36).
•
According to the schedule using the cron application (see section 5.2.5
on page 36).
Anti-virus scan of the entire computer is a process that requires con-
siderable resources. It should be noted that when you start this task,
your computer's efficiency will be reduced, therefore we do not rec-
ommend to run any other processes at the same time. In order to avoid
such problems, we recommend that you scan individual selected fold-
ers.
