File pattern AntiVirus
Using the allow action, this behavior can be reversed with all files being blocked
unless explicitly passed. Simply enter all the file patterns to be passed with the
allow attribute. At the end of the list, add an all-inclusive wildcard (*.*) with a block
action. Allowed files continue to antivirus scanning (if enabled) while files not
matching any allowed patterns are blocked by the wildcard at the end.
The file pattern list is preconfigured with a default list of file patterns:
• executable files (*.bat, *.com, and *.exe)
• compressed or archive files (*.gz, *.rar, *.tar, *.tgz, and *.zip)
• dynamic link libraries (*.dll)
• HTML application (*.hta)
• Microsoft Office files (*.doc, *.ppt, *.xl?)
• Microsoft Works files (*.wps)
• Visual Basic files (*.vb?)
• screen saver files (*.scr)
• program information files (*.pif)
File pattern is enabled in protection profiles. For more information, see “Antivirus
options” on page 273.
