Low detection level
If this option is enabled, AntiVir SharePoint detects slightly less unknown malware, the
risk of false alerts is low in this case.
risk of false alerts is low in this case.
Medium detection level
This setting optimizes the ratio of detection performance to false positives: If the
detection rate of unknown malware is relatively high, relatively few false positives are
received. This option is enabled as the default setting and is recommended.
detection rate of unknown malware is relatively high, relatively few false positives are
received. This option is enabled as the default setting and is recommended.
High detection level
If this option is enabled, AntiVir SharePoint identifies far more unknown malware, but
you must also accept that there are likely to be false positives.

10.2.3 Archives
You can configure the scan in archives under Archives. Because archive scanning can
require considerable computer capacity, you have the option of limiting scanning in
archives or configuring the scanning pattern in archives.

Smart extensions
If this option is enabled, the AntiVir SharePoint detects whether a file is a packed file
format (archive), even if the file extension differs from the usual extensions, and scans
the archive. Each file must be opened to check the file format. This slows down the
scanning speed. This setting is activated by default and is recommended.

Exceptions
Under Exceptions you have the option of limiting the archive scan. The purpose of
archive scan exceptions is to prevent possible system overloads due to archive bombs.
The options for limiting the archive scan are automatically disabled as soon as you
disable the option Scan archives.

Warning
You should limit the archive scan to a reasonable degree, taking the recommended
standard values as your guide. Archives that are excluded from the scan for viruses and
malware are transferred to Sharepoint team pages without being checked and are
downloaded from there to the computer systems of the Sharepoint users. This is how
malware can be spread through archives. If you restrict the scanning of archives, you
should strongly recommend that SharePoint users check archives using a conventional
anti-virus scanner before uploading them or after downloading them.
