  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Resolved Drweb to omit scanning of certain file type

William Fong

New Pleskian
Hi,
Did anybody have experience into getting drweb to exclude the scanning of certain file types?
I couldn't find any info on it.

Thanks,
William
 
Hi William Fong,

you are able to configure DrWeb over the file "drweb32.ini", located at "/etc/drweb".

By default settings, the following ( possible ) file type - definitions are commented, in order to let DrWeb scan for all file types:
Code:
# FilesTypes = {MultiString} (EXE,COM,SYS,OV?,BAT,BIN,DRV,PRG,BOO,
# SCR,CMD,VXD,386,DLL,FON,DO?,XL?,WIZ,RTF,CL*,HT*,VB*,JS*,INF,AR?,
# ZIP,R??,PP?,OBJ,LIB,HLP,MD?,INI,MBR,IMG,CSC,CPL,MBP,SHS,SHB,PIF,
# SO,CHM,REG,XML,PRC,ASP,LSP,MSO,OBD,THE*,NWS,SWF,BMP,MPP,OCX,DVB,
# CPY,MSG,EML)
# File types to be checked during "by type" scan.
# FilesTypes = EXE,COM,SYS,OV?,BAT,BIN,DRV,PRG,BOO,SCR,CMD,VXD,386,DLL,FON,DO?
# FilesTypes = XL?,WIZ,RTF,CL*,HT*,VB*,JS*,INF,AR?,ZIP,R??,PP?,OBJ,LIB,HLP,MD?
# FilesTypes = INI,MBR,IMG,CSC,CPL,MBP,SHS,SHB,PIF,SO,CHM,REG,XML,PRC,ASP,LSP
# FilesTypes = MSO,OBD,THE*,NWS,SWF,BMP,MPP,OCX,DVB,CPY,MSG,EML
If you desire a unique modification, pls. consider to comment out the examples and use your very own setting.


You still should be aware, that in case of updates/upgrades/patches, the file "drweb32.ini" could be overwritten by Plesk. ;)
 
Hi UFHH01,

I've comment out the 4 rolls of FilesTypes, took out XL?, and also set ScanFiles = ByType.
I'll see how it goes as do we experience false positives for incoming .xlsm attachment files in our environment.

Thank you.
