Additional information
The following section is for those options that require additional explanation.
default-db {normal | extended | extreme}
Select the database to be used for antivirus scanning. Both proxy and flow inspection modes use these databases.
- normal: Use the normal virus database, which includes viruses that are "in the wild," including the commonly seen viruses. For regular antivirus protection, it is sufficient to use this database (set by default).
- extended: Use the extended virus database, which includes both "in the wild" viruses and a large collection of "in the zoo" viruses. It is suitable for an enhanced security environment.
- extreme: Use the extreme virus database, which includes both "in the wild" viruses and all available "in the zoo" viruses. It is suitable for an enhanced security environment.
grayware {enable | disable}
Enable (by default) or disable the detection of grayware, including adware, dial, downloader, hacker tool, keylogger, RAT, and spyware.
