  436. **  Enabling Scanning Features                                      **
  437. **********************************************************************
  438.  
  439. Several scanning features can be enabled through the use of an INF 
  440. configuration file.  For NAV for Windows 95/NT version 4.x and later, 
  441. or NAV for OS/2, this configuration file should be called NAVEX15.INF
  442. and should be placed in the directory where NAV is installed (i.e.,
  443. C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus).  For NAV for Netware version 4.x,
  444. the file should be called NAVEX15.INF and should be placed in the 
  445. directory where NAV 4.x is installed (i.e., sys:system\navnlm). For
  446. NAV for Windows 95/NT version 2.0, NAV 4.x for Windows 3.1/DOS,
  447. NAVIEG 1.x, or NAVFW 1.x, the file should be named NAVEX.INF and
  448. should be placed in the directory where NAV is installed (i.e., C:\NAV).
  449. If this configuration file does not exist, create one in the appropriate
  450. directory if you want to change the default settings.
  451.  
  452. To enable a scanning feature for a particular component, one or more 
  453. entries need to be added to the configuration file under the correct
  454. section.  For each platform there is a corresponding section that is used 
  455. in the INF file.  Below is a table of section names and platforms.
  456.  
  457. Section Name    Platform
  458. ------------    --------
  459. NAVW32          Windows 95/98/NT
  460. NAVAP           Windows 95/98/NT Auto-Protect
  461. NAVDX           DOS
  462. NAVNLM          Netware
  463. NAVWIN          Windows 3.1
  464. NAVOS2          OS/2
  465. NAVAIX          AIX
  466. NAVSOL          Solaris
  467.  
  468. Entries are case insensitive.  Below is a description of possible 
  469. entries.
  470.  
  471. 1. Files can be excluded from scans by the NAVEX engine.  To exclude a
  472. specific file from the NAVEX engine scan, add an entry with the full
  473. path and file name.  This is case insensitive.  No wildcards are allowed.
  474. To exclude multiple files, add a separate entry for each file.  To exclude
  475. a file, add an entry like the one below where <PATH> is the full path
  476. and file name.
  477.         ExcludeFile = <PATH>
  478.  
  479. 2. Files within a directory can be excluded from scans by the NAVEX engine.
  480. To exclude all files within a directory, add an entry with the full 
  481. directory path.  This is case insensitive.  No wildcards are allowed.  This
  482. does not exclude files located in subdirectories of the specified 
  483. directory.  To exclude multiple directories, add a separate entry for each
  484. directory. To exclude a directory, add an entry like the one below where
  485. <DIRECTORY> is the full path.
  486.         ExcludeDirectory = <DIRECTORY>
  487.  
  488. The following example of an INF configuration file excludes two files, 
  489. NOSCAN.EXE and BIGFILE.DOC, from NAVEX scans for the Windows 95/98/NT 
  490. scanner.  It excludes the D:\PRIVATE directory from Windows 95/98/NT 
  491. Auto-Protect.
  492.  
  493. [NAVW32]
  494. ExcludeFile = C:\PROGRAM FILES\NOSCAN.EXE
  495. ExcludeFile = C:\TEMP\BIGFILE.DOC
  496.  
  497. [NAVAP]
  498. ExcludeDirectory = D:\PRIVATE
