If the unpacking and extracting (see subchapter 5.3.2.5) engines are
enabled,
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Sun Solaris Mail Server
is able to
detect an infected file even though it was enciphered by the CryptCOM
utility, then packed by PKLITE and, finally, added to the PKZIP archive.
5.3.2.5. Archives
You can enable your Scanner to check for viruses in archived files
(including self-extracting archives) that are extracted by the special engine.
The extracting engine
is designed to check for viruses in files archived with
various versions of the following archivers: ZIP, ARJ, LHA, RAR, CAB etc.
Ability to check for viruses in archives is very important as an
infected file can stay in your archive for months or years, and the
virus will be inactive and therefore invisible to you, but some day the
virus may break loose and ruin your system.
To enable
the extracting engine
:
1. Type
Yes
in the
Archives
line of the profile. Otherwise, type
No
.
2. Type
Yes
in the
SelfExtArchives
line of the profile (for checking
in self-extracting archives). Otherwise, type
No
.
This
Archives
parameter corresponds to the command line switch
-A[-
]
. The switch
-A
disables and the switch
-A-
enables the extracting
engine.
Scanner does not extract password protected archives. Scanner
does not delete viruses from archives, it only detects them.
The unpacking engine generates temporary files in the directory
defined by the
TempPath
parameter in the
[TempFiles]
section of a
profile (see subchapter 5.4.2).
The extracting engine noticeably slows down the
Scanner scanning
rate. Therefore, we recommend enabling this engine only if the
probability that your archived files are infected is high.
