+
+ An "antivir" binary (version 2.1.0-28 or later) and a valid SERVER
+ license are required. Please check these requirements by means of
+ the "antivir --version" command.
+
+ No service needs to be started up, the vscan-antivir.so plugin
+ itself will handle the scanner processes. Although it's advised
+ to setup a cronjob which runs regularly scheduled updates for the
+ AntiVir product. The samba service does not need to be restarted
+ nor need the users reconnect to shares after AntiVir updates.
+
+ The correct pathname to the "antivir" binary needs to be setup in
+ the vscan-antivir.conf file. The binary's name usually is
+ "/usr/lib/AntiVir/antivir".
+
+ Archive related settings can be customized to prevent DoS
+ situations. This is why archive support is disabled by default.
+ When enabled, archives will not be scanned completely when they
+ exceed one of the specified limits. A limit of 0 will disable the
+ appropriate condition (i.e. means "unlimited").
+
+ By default only viruses are scanned for. Detection of other types
+ of unwanted software can be enabled with the appropriate "detect"
+ options. But you should make sure to adjust the notification
+ message which is sent to the remote users since in this situation
+ not every alert is an "INFECTION" with a "VIRUS".
+
+ The vscan-antivir.so plugin is capable of handling files with non
+ printable and other special characters (umlauts and such) in their
+ names. Unicode support has not been tested.
