Since compressed file scanning is a resource-intensive process, it is important to configure ServerProtect so it can efficiently scan compressed files and archives while other processes are running.

Procedure

  1. On the left menu, select Scan Options, then choose the scan method.
  2. Under the Compressed File Scan Settings section, select the Scan compressed files check box.

  3. Specify the number of compression layers (1-20) to scan. The default settings are 5 layers for manual and scheduled scanning, and 1 layer for real-time scanning. ServerProtect bypasses files in compression layers that are higher than the number specified.
  4. Specify the maximum extracted file size for scanning.
    The minimum value you can set is 1MB, while the maximum value is 2,000MB. The default values are 60MB for manual and scheduled scanning, and 30MB for real-time scanning. ServerProtect does not scan files larger than the specified size, but it records an entry about them in the system log.
  5. Click Save to apply your settings.
