Configuration options 
If this option is enabled, the report file can be limited to a specific size. This option is 
activated by default with a value of 1024 KB. If the log file exceeds the specified size, the 
report file entries are backed up in a backup report file and the report file is reset. When 
the log entries are saved in the backup log file, the entries of the previous backup are 
overwritten.  
 
10.2.5  Extended threat categories 
Avira AntiVir SharePoint scans documents on the SharePoint team pages for viruses and 
malware. You have the option of incorporating other threat categories in the malware 
scan. The following threat categories (see Viruses and more::Extended threat categories) 
are defined:  
– 
Adware/Spyware (ADSPY)  
– 
Application (APPL) 
– 
Adware (ADWARE) 
– 
Backdoor Clients (BDC) 
– 
Dialers (DIAL) 
– 
Double Extension Files (HIDDENEXT) 
– 
Phishing (PHISH) 
– 
Security Privacy Risk (SPR) 
– 
Games (GAME) 
– 
Unusual Runtime Compression Tools (PCK) 
– 
Jokes (JOKE) 
– 
Possible Fake Software (PFS) 
The following extended threat categories are enabled in the scan in the AntiVir 
SharePoint  standard settings: Adware/Spyware (ADSPY), Adware (ADWARE), backdoor 
control software (BDC), Dialer (DIAL), double extension files (HIDDENEXT), Phishing 
(PHISH). 
By configuring the threat categories you can activate more threat categories when 
scanning documents or exclude enabled threat categories from the scan as standard. 
Warning 
If any threat categories are disabled, files that are assigned to the threat category are not 
recorded as malware and are blocked. No entry is made in the report file (logger). It is 
recommended that none of the threat categories enabled by default should be excluded 
from the scan.  
The threat categories must be configured in the avwin.ini configuration file. After a 
change to the avwin.ini file, the Avira AntiVir SharePoint Scan Service must be restarted. 
The configuration file can be found under: 
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\Avira\AntiVir SharePoint\config 
Change the entry: 
[COMMON] 
PrefixDiff=+[category abbreviation], -[category abbreviation] 
The plus sign enables additional threat categories , while the minus sign disables the 
threat categories activated by default. If you do not specify values for PrefixDiff, the 
standard settings will be loaded.
