Analyzing files tab

Maximum size for antivirus and sandboxing analysis (KB)

This option corresponds to the maximum size of files that will be scanned.
The default size depends on the firewall model:

  • S model firewalls (SN160(W), SN210(W) and SN310): 4000 KB.
  • M model firewalls (SN-S-Series-220, SN-S-Series-320, SN510, SN710, SNi20 and SNi40): 4000 KB.
  • L model firewalls (SN-M-Series-520, SN-M-Series-720, SN910, SN-M-Series-920 and SNxr1200): 8000 KB.
  • XL model firewalls (EVA1, EVA2, EVA3,EVA4, EVAU, SN1100, SN2000, SN2100, SN3000, SN3100, SN6000 and SN6100): 16000 KB.

WARNING
When a size limit is manually set for analyzed data, ensure that all values are consistent, as the total memory space corresponds to the resources reserved for all antivirus services. If you define the size limit for analyzed data on SMTP as 100% of the total size, no other files can be analyzed at the same time.

Action on messages

This zone defines the behavior of the antivirus module when certain events occur.

When a virus is detected This field contains two options: Allow and Block
  • By selecting Block, the analyzed file will not be sent.
  • By selecting Allow, the antivirus will send the file even if it has been found to be infected.
When the antivirus scan fails The option Pass without scanning defines the behavior of the antivirus module if the analysis of the file it is scanning fails.
  • If Block is specified, the file being scanned will not be sent.
  • If Pass without scanning is specified, the file being scanned will be sent.
When data collection fails This option defines the behavior of the antivirus module when certain events occur.

EXAMPLES
If the hard disk has reached its capacity, information will not be downloaded.
The maximum size that the file can reach for the antivirus scan is restricted (1000KB).
