  465. **********************************************************************
  466.  
  467. Several scanning features can be enabled through the use of an INF 
  468. configuration file.  For NAV for Windows 95/NT version 4.x and later, 
  469. or NAV for OS/2, this configuration file should be called NAVEX15.INF
  470. and should be placed in the directory where NAV is installed (i.e.,
  471. C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus).  For NAV for Netware version 4.x,
  472. the file should be called NAVEX15.INF and should be placed in the 
  473. directory where NAV 4.x is installed (i.e., sys:system\navnlm). For
  474. NAV for Windows 95/NT version 2.0, NAV 4.x for Windows 3.1/DOS,
  475. NAVIEG 1.x, or NAVFW 1.x, the file should be named NAVEX.INF and
  476. should be placed in the directory where NAV is installed (i.e., C:\NAV).
  477. If this configuration file does not exist, create one in the appropriate
  478. directory if you want to change the default settings.

  481. entries need to be added to the configuration file under the correct
  482. section.  For each platform there is a corresponding section that is used 
  483. in the INF file.  Below is a table of section names and platforms.
  484.

  497. entries.
  498.  
  499. 1. Files can be excluded from scans by the NAVEX engine.  To exclude a
  500. specific file from the NAVEX engine scan, add an entry with the full
  501. path and file name.  This is case insensitive.  No wildcards are allowed.
  502. To exclude multiple files, add a separate entry for each file.  To exclude
  503. a file, add an entry like the one below where <PATH> is the full path
  504. and file name.
  505.         ExcludeFile = <PATH>
  506.  
  507. 2. Files within a directory can be excluded from scans by the NAVEX engine.
  508. To exclude all files within a directory, add an entry with the full 
  509. directory path.  This is case insensitive.  No wildcards are allowed.  This
  510. does not exclude files located in subdirectories of the specified 
  511. directory.  To exclude multiple directories, add a separate entry for each
  512. directory. To exclude a directory, add an entry like the one below where
  513. <DIRECTORY> is the full path.
  514.         ExcludeDirectory = <DIRECTORY>
  515.  
  516. The following example of an INF configuration file excludes two files, 
  517. NOSCAN.EXE and BIGFILE.DOC, from NAVEX scans for the Windows 95/98/NT 
  518. scanner.  It excludes the D:\PRIVATE directory from Windows 95/98/NT 
  519. Auto-Protect.
  520.  
  521. [NAVW32]
  522. ExcludeFile = C:\PROGRAM FILES\NOSCAN.EXE
  523. ExcludeFile = C:\TEMP\BIGFILE.DOC
