Scanner (Antivirus) Settings

Scanner (Antivirus) Settings

Use the scanner.xml to define settings related to the Votiro Scanner service. The service controls the use of antivirus engines.

The scanner.xml file is located in:

[installation_path]\Votiro\Votiro.Malware.Scanner\Config

In the antivirus settings, you must specify a timeout value for the first antivirus update process. The initial antivirus update might take some time due to the size of the definition files that must be updated. During the time that this process is running, sanitization of files is blocked, meaning that performance is affected. Specify a timeout value that provides a balance between the need to have the latest virus definitions and the effect the process has on performance.

In addition, you must specify the update interval value and other attributes for each antivirus engine.

The attributes are described in the following table. The table provides a description of the attribute, considerations to make when specifying a value, and the permissible values.
