  457. **  Enabling Scanning Features                                      **
  458. **********************************************************************
  459.  
  460. Several scanning features can be enabled through the use of an INF 
  461. configuration file.  For NAV for Windows 95/NT version 4.x and later, 
  462. or NAV for OS/2, this configuration file should be called NAVEX15.INF
  463. and should be placed in the directory where NAV is installed (i.e.,
  464. C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus).  For NAV for Netware version 4.x,
  465. the file should be called NAVEX15.INF and should be placed in the 
  466. directory where NAV 4.x is installed (i.e., sys:system\navnlm). For
  467. NAV for Windows 95/NT version 2.0, NAV 4.x for Windows 3.1/DOS,
  468. NAVIEG 1.x, or NAVFW 1.x, the file should be named NAVEX.INF and
  469. should be placed in the directory where NAV is installed (i.e., C:\NAV).
  470. If this configuration file does not exist, create one in the appropriate
  471. directory if you want to change the default settings.
  472.  
  473. To enable a scanning feature for a particular component, one or more 
  474. entries need to be added to the configuration file under the correct
  475. section.  For each platform there is a corresponding section that is used 
  476. in the INF file.  Below is a table of section names and platforms.

  493. specific file from the NAVEX engine scan, add an entry with the full
  494. path and file name.  This is case insensitive.  No wildcards are allowed.

  496. a file, add an entry like the one below where <PATH> is the full path
  497. and file name.
  498.         ExcludeFile = <PATH>
  499.  
  500. 2. Files within a directory can be excluded from scans by the NAVEX engine.
  501. To exclude all files within a directory, add an entry with the full 
  502. directory path.  This is case insensitive.  No wildcards are allowed.  This
  503. does not exclude files located in subdirectories of the specified 
  504. directory.  To exclude multiple directories, add a separate entry for each

  511. scanner.  It excludes the D:\PRIVATE directory from Windows 95/98/NT
