Martin,
I discovered your post after I sent you a private email to the address listed in Thomas's post.
I have recently
"upgraded" to AVG free 8.0 and after following avg's setup I seem to
have a choice between no virus scanning and no email.
In a separate thread, Thomas R.
Stephenson has suggested that I turn off the avg email scanning and use
virscan instead. I downloaded the Virscan zip file and could use some
help.
While I have been using computers since the punch card days, I
consider myself a novice when it comes to antivirus tweaking and
command line entries. I am an end user using pmail as a stand alone
client at home (have been using without problems since the early 90s).
I am not a system admin.
1st a question, the installation instructions say:
If this is the first time to install Virscan
o Rename Virscn32.f to Virscn32.fff
o Rename Virscan.i to Virscan.ini
No problem renaming the ini file Upon unzipping I find 2 files:
Virscn32.f (dated1/4/06) and virscn32.fff (dated5/26/04) --I am not
sure what to do.
I am not sure haw to edit the ini file:
; Virscan version 4.92
;
[virscan]
YesMsg=Click YES if Virus scan was Ok
NoMsg=Click NO if Virus scan detected a problem
OkStatus=Virus scan ran OK
BadStatus=deleted by Virscan extension
Advice=C:\WINNT\NOTEPAD.EXE C:\virscan.err
Trace=No
denyextensions=VBS,PIF,SCR,BAT
,EXE
SkipExtensions=pm$,tmp,txt,jpg,jpeg,gif,bmp,png,!
notify=
NotifyMsg=
WantYesNo=False
CheckFN=True
AVOK=0
EncZip=Deny
CleanMsg=
ResultFile=
EmptyResultFile=
;
;
; For AVG V5 scanner something like:
; CmdLine=c:\grisoft\avg6\Avgse.exe /SCAN "!f"
; or for AVG V7
; CmdLine=c:\progra~1\grisoft\avgfre~1\avgw.exe /se /quit "%f"
; AVG V8 (need to code AVOK=1 as well)
_____________________________________________
How would I actually modify the ini.
Also the instructions use different language and show an edit LogSize=5000 -- ther is no LogSize in the ini and.
With regard to the other instructions, they leave me somewhat confused:
It seems to me that I want AVG to scan anything that virscan doesn't--does this mean that I need to make EncZip=allow
Shold I change the YesMsg & NoMsg lines to exacly match the Instructions.
Thank you.
