The location to be checked must be defined in the
Names
line of the
[Object]
section of a profile.
A PROFILE MAY HAVE MORE THEN ONE
[Object]
SECTION for
several different locations to be checked. In addition, for every loca-
tion you can define different check settings.
To define the location to be checked,
in the
Names
line of the
[Object]
section, enter the filesystem directories
to be checked for viruses. If you define more then one directory, they
must be separated by semicolons. There is one more important thing: if
you specify a directory in this line and want the program to check it for
viruses, make sure to prefix it with the character "
*
". For example, if the
line looks similar to
Names =*/root/vir; .home/samba; */root/tst;
, its meaning
is: the program when started will check for viruses only in files of the
/root/vir
and
/root/tst
directories. To exclude a directory from the loca-
tion to be checked prefix it with the character "
.
". This feature is very
useful since now you do not have to type or delete directories each
time when including or excluding them from the check. Now you simply
prefix them with "
.
" or "
*
". You may also specify the location by com-
mand line switches (for details see subchapter 4.1).
If you do not have rights to access some of the predefined directo-
ries or files to be checked, they will be skipped during the check.
To check for viruses in subdirectories of the directories prede-
fined in the
Names
line,
type
Yes
in the
SubDirectories
line of the
[Object]
section. Otherwise,
type
No
.
The
SubDirectories
parameter corresponds to the command line
switch
-R[-]
. The switch
-R
disables, and the switch
-R-
enables your
anti-virus scanner to search for viruses in files located in the subdi-
rectories of the directories defined in the
Names
line.
