4.2.2. Object scan and disinfection mode

The settings of this mode are very important, because they determine whether
the application will cure infected files when they are detected.
By default disinfection is turned off: the default behaviour is to scan objects and
to notify about detected viruses and other suspicious or corrupted files by printing
messages to the screen and in the report (see 5.6 on p. 42).
As a result of an anti-virus scan, each object will be assigned a status from those
listed below:

Clean – no viruses detected (the object is not infected).

Infected – the object is infected.

Warning – object code resembles the code of a known virus.

Suspicious – the object is suspected of being infected with an unknown
virus.

Corrupted– the object is corrupted.

Protected – the object cannot be scanned because it is encrypted (pass-
word-protected).

Error – an error has occurred while scanning the object.
With the disinfection mode turn on (section [scanner.options], setting Cure =
yes) only objects with the Infected status will be sent for anti-virus processing.
As a result of the disinfection, the object will be assigned a status from those
listed below:

Cured – the object has been successfully disinfected.
