  481.  
  482. Several scanning features can be enabled through the use of an INF 
  483. configuration file.  For NAV for Windows 95/NT version 4.x and later, 
  484. or NAV for OS/2, this configuration file should be called NAVEX15.INF
  485. and should be placed in the directory where NAV is installed (i.e.,
  486. C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus).  For NAV for Netware version 4.x,
  487. the file should be called NAVEX15.INF and should be placed in the 
  488. directory where NAV 4.x is installed (i.e., sys:system\navnlm). For
  489. NAV for Windows 95/NT version 2.0, NAV 4.x for Windows 3.1/DOS,
  490. NAVIEG 1.x, or NAVFW 1.x, the file should be named NAVEX.INF and
  491. should be placed in the directory where NAV is installed (i.e., C:\NAV).
  492. If this configuration file does not exist, create one in the appropriate
  493. directory if you want to change the default settings.
  494.  
  495. To enable a scanning feature for a particular component, one or more 
  496. entries need to be added to the configuration file under the correct
  497. section.  For each platform there is a corresponding section that is used 
  498. in the INF file.  Below is a table of section names and platforms.
  499.  
  500. Section Name    Platform
  501. ------------    --------
  502. NAVW32          Windows 95/98/NT
  503. NAVAP           Windows 95/98/NT Auto-Protect
  504. NAVDX           DOS
  505. NAVNLM          Netware
  506. NAVWIN          Windows 3.1
  507. NAVOS2          OS/2
  508. NAVAIX          AIX
  509. NAVSOL          Solaris
  510.  
  511. Entries are case insensitive.  Below is a description of possible 
  512. entries.
  513.  
  514. 1. Files can be excluded from scans by the NAVEX engine.  To exclude a
  515. specific file from the NAVEX engine scan, add an entry with the full
  516. path and file name.  This is case insensitive.  No wildcards are allowed.
  517. To exclude multiple files, add a separate entry for each file.  To exclude
  518. a file, add an entry like the one below where <PATH> is the full path
  519. and file name.
  520.         ExcludeFile = <PATH>
  521.  
  522. 2. Files within a directory can be excluded from scans by the NAVEX engine.
  523. To exclude all files within a directory, add an entry with the full 
  524. directory path.  This is case insensitive.  No wildcards are allowed.  This
  525. does not exclude files located in subdirectories of the specified 
  526. directory.  To exclude multiple directories, add a separate entry for each
  527. directory. To exclude a directory, add an entry like the one below where
  528. <DIRECTORY> is the full path.
  529.         ExcludeDirectory = <DIRECTORY>
  530.  
  531. The following example of an INF configuration file excludes two files, 
  532. NOSCAN.EXE and BIGFILE.DOC, from NAVEX scans for the Windows 95/98/NT 
  533. scanner.  It excludes the D:\PRIVATE directory from Windows 95/98/NT 
  534. Auto-Protect.
  535.  
  536. [NAVW32]
  537. ExcludeFile = C:\PROGRAM FILES\NOSCAN.EXE
  538. ExcludeFile = C:\TEMP\BIGFILE.DOC
  539.  
  540. [NAVAP]
  541. ExcludeDirectory = D:\PRIVATE
