Actions To Be Performed On Objects - KAPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS 5.7 - FOR LINUX FILE SERVER Administrator's Manual

28

CureFailed – the object could not be disinfected. Files with this status will
be processed according to rules specified for infected objects.

Error – error occurred during the object scan.

4.2.3. Actions to be performed on objects

The actions to be performed on an object depend on the object's status (see
Chapter 2, on p. 12). The default action is only to provide notification about the
detection of infected or suspicious objects. However, for objects with Infected,
Suspicious, Warning, Error, Protected and Corrupted status you can
configure further responses, including:

moving to a directory – moving objects with the given status to a directory;
simple and recursive moving is available.

deleting object from the file system;

performing a command – processing of files using standard Unix script
files, or similar.
Please note that Kaspersky Anti-Virus discriminates between simple objects
(files) and container objects (consisting of several objects, for example, an
archive). Actions performed with such objects are also discriminated; in the
configuration files these actions are located in different sections, with section
[scanner.object] for simple objects, and section [scanner.container] for
container objects.
Actions performed with self-extracting archives can be differentiated: if
the archive itself is infected, it will be viewed as a simple object, while if
objects within the archive are infected, the archive will be viewed as a
container. Therefore actions to be performed on archives, depending
on the case, will be determined by the settings specified in different
sections of the configuration file.
You can select actions to be performed on an object using several methods as
follows:

You can specify them in the kav4fs.conf configuration file if you plan to
use these actions as default actions (sections [scanner.object] and
[scanner.container]).

Specify actions in the alternative configuration file and use this file at
component startup.
