Gateway AntiVirus Decompression
This setting is displayed in the Gateway AntiVirus Settings dialog box in Policy Manager only. It is not available in the Web UI.
Gateway AntiVirus file decompression is always enabled and there are no configurable settings. The number of levels to scan depends on the amount of RAM the Firebox has. Firebox models with less then 2 GB RAM scan eight levels of compressed files. Firebox models with 2 GB or more RAM scan up to 16 levels of compressed files.
| RAM | Levels to Scan |
|---|---|
| Less than 2 GB | 8 |
| 2 GB or greater | 16 |
Compressed attachments that cannot be scanned include encrypted files or files that use a type of compression that we do not support such as password-protected ZIP files. To set the action for the Firebox when it finds a message it cannot scan, select an action for When a Scan Error Occurs in the General category of the policy configuration.
