CHAPTER 38
Anti-Virus
This chapter introduces and shows you how to configure the anti-virus scanner.
Note: This feature is called Anti-Malware on some Zyxel Device models.
38.1 Anti-Virus Overview
A computer virus is a small program designed to corrupt and/or alter the operation of other legitimate
programs. A worm is a self-replicating virus that resides in active memory and duplicates itself. The effect
of a virus attack varies from doing so little damage that you are unaware your computer is infected to
wiping out the entire contents of a hard drive to rendering your computer inoperable.
38.2 Anti-Virus Commands
The following table identifies the values required for many of these commands. Other input values are
discussed with the corresponding commands.
Table 166 Input Values for General Anti-Virus Commands
LABEL DESCRIPTION
<profile-name>
The name of the profile. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(_), or
dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive.
av_file_patter
n
Use up to 80 characters to specify a file pattern. Alphanumeric characters, underscores (_),
dashes (-), question marks (?) and asterisks (*) are allowed.
A question mark (?) lets a single character in the file name vary. For example, use “a?.zip”
(without the quotation marks) to specify aa.zip, ab.zip and so on.
Wildcards (*) let multiple files match the pattern. For example, use “*a.zip” (without the
quotation marks) to specify any file that ends with “a.zip”. A file named “testa.zip” would
match. There could be any number (of any type) of characters in front of the “a.zip” at the
end and the file name would still match. A file named “test.zipa” for example would not
match.
A * in the middle of a pattern has the Zyxel Device check the beginning and end of the file
name and ignore the middle. For example, with “abc*.zip”, any file starting with “abc” and
ending in “.zip” matches, no matter how many characters are in between.
The whole file name has to match if you do not use a question mark or asterisk.
If you do not use a wildcard, the Zyxel Device checks up to the first 80 characters of a file
name.
