Virus list

The virus list displays the current viruses blocked in alphabetical order. You can view the entire list or parts of the list by selecting the number or alphabet ranges. You can update this list manually or set up the FortiGate unit to receive automatic updates daily or whenever required. To manually upload a virus list update see “Changing unit information” on page 29. To find out how to use the Fortinet Update Center, see “Update center” on page 118.

Oversize threshold configuration refers to the size limits you can apply to scan files and email in memory.

The maximum file size allowed in memory is usually 10% of the FortiGate RAM size. For example, a FortiGate unit with 256 MB of RAM could have a memory oversize threshold range of 1 to 25 MB. The range for each FortiGate unit is displayed in the web-based manager as shown in Figure 158.

Note: For email scanning, the oversize threshold refers to the final size of the email after encoding by the email client, including attachments. Email clients may use a variety of encoding types and some encoding types translate into larger file sizes than the original attachment. The most common encoding, base64, translates 3 bytes of binary data into 4 bytes of base64 data. So a file may be blocked or logged as oversized even if the attachment is several megabytes less than the configured oversize threshold.
