SnapServer / GuardianOS 7.6 Administrator’s Guide 12 - CA Antivirus Software
Virus Scan Jobs
You can run virus scan jobs on demand or you can configure virus scan jobs to run periodically.
This section outlines the process of configuring and running manual and scheduled scans. For
detailed descriptions of all scanning options, see the CA Antivirus online help.
NOTE: You may not want to include Snapshot shares as part of your virus scan. Because access to
an archived version of the filesystem provided by a snapshot share is read-only, you cannot
treat or move any infected file; you would have to delete the entire snapshot to effect a cure.
A more useful approach is to always scan your filesystem for viruses before running a
snapshot. Adjust your antivirus scan schedule to synchronize with your snapshot schedule so
that any infected files are cured (repaired) or removed before the snapshot is scheduled to
run.
Defining Virus Scans
This section provides an overview of the major choices available in configuring scan jobs.
Access these options by selecting
Local Scanner Options
from the Scanner Menu.
Choosing an Infection Treatment (Scan Tab)
You can instruct the software to perform one of the following file actions when an infected file
is found:
Component Description
Root Directory Displays the directory structure of the SnapServer. As in
Windows Explorer, click folder icons to navigate the structure
and display subfolders and files in the right-hand pane.
Move Folder May contain infected files. The administrator can instruct the
software to automatically move infected files to this directory.
For more information, see Virus Scan Jobs on page 263.
Scheduled Scan Jobs Scan Jobs you schedule appear in this folder. For more
information, see Scheduling a Scan Job on page 264.
File Actions Description
Report Only (Default) Reports when an infection is found.
Delete File Deletes an infected file.
Rename File Renames an infected file with an AVB extension. Infected files with the
same name are given incremental extensions (for example, FILE.0.AVB,
FILE.1.AVB, and so on). After a file is renamed with an AVB-type of
extension, it is not scanned subsequently.
Move File Moves an infected file from its current directory to the Move directory for
quarantine.
Cure File Attempts to cure an infected file automatically. Choosing this setting
enables the File Options button. Click this button to display the Cure
Action Options and specify how the Cure File option performs.
NOTE: The System Cure option is not available on SnapServers.
