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