Configuring Security Risk Scan: Target Settings

The following lists the steps required to configure security risk scan settings for the target tab.

To configure security risk scan target settings:

1. Log on to the product console.

2. Click Security Risk Scan. The Security Risk Scan screen displays.

3. Select one of the following for security risk scan:

• All scannable files: Select this option to have PortalProtect scan all scannable files.

• IntelliScan: Uses true file type identification to perform efficient scans using Trend Micro recommended settings.

• Specify file types: Click the Show details link to expand the list and select the files you want PortalProtect to scan. These files are "true file types." The scan engine examines the file header rather than the file name to ascertain the actual file type. Or, select to create a list of file extensions by selecting Specify file extensions.
  
  For example: If you click Specify file types and then select Application and executables > Executable (.exe; .dll; .vxd), then PortalProtect will scan executable, DLL, and VXD file types—even when the file has a false file extension name; for example: the file extension is labeled .txt when it is actually an .exe. However, if you click Specify file extensions and type "exe", then PortalProtect will scan only .exe type files. PortalProtect does not recognize falsely labeled file types.

4. Select Enable IntelliTrap to use IntelliTrap technology.

5. For Spyware/Grayware Scan, choose Select All or select from the following:

6. Spyware

7. Dialers

8. Hacking Tools

9. Password Cracking Applications

10. Adware

11. Joke Programs

12. Remote Access Tools

13. Others

6. To modify or improve performance, click Scan Restriction Criteria to expand the contents. Under Do not scan file if...

7. File size exceeds—type a value between 1-30-MB.

7. Under Do not scan compressed files if, type values according to the following:

8. Decompressed file count exceeds [xxxxx]—type the total decompressed file count (1-10000) that should not be exceeded. When PortalProtect encounters a number of files equal to or greater than this number it will not scan the files.

9. Size of Decompressed file exceeds [xxxx]—type a value in megabytes (1-2048) to set a limit for the size of the compressed files PortalProtect will scan. When PortalProtect encounters a compressed file that is equal to or greater than this size, it will not scan the file.

10. Number of layers of compression exceeds [xx]—type a number (1-20) to set a limit for the number of layers of compression to which PortalProtect will scan. When PortalProtect encounters a file of a compression layer equal to or greater than this number it will not scan the files.

11. Size of decompressed file is "x" times the size of compressed file—decompressed files must not exceed the multiple entered according to the compressed file size. Type a multiple (100-1000000) that the decompressed file must not exceed. Decompressed files that exceed the value: decompressed size is "x" times larger than the compressed size, will not be scanned.

8. Click Save.

9. Office 2007 files are compressed files. If an office 2007 file exceeds the scan restriction criteria, PortalProtect will treat it as an unscannable file.
