following table lists policies that define which traffic the ZyWALL scans

Spyware

and the action it takes upon finding a virus.

 

 

Scan EICAR

Select this option to have the ZyWALL check for the EICAR test file and

 

treat it in the same way as a real virus file. The EICAR test file is a

 

standardized test file for signature based anti-virus scanners. When the

 

virus scanner detects the EICAR file, it responds in the same way as if it

 

found a real virus. Besides straightforward detection, the EICAR file can

 

also be compressed to test whether the anti-virus software can detect it

 

in a compressed file. The test string consists of the following human-

 

readable ASCII characters.

 

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-

Priority

This is the position of an anti-virus policy in the list. The ordering of

 

your anti-virus policies is important as the ZyWALL applies them in

 

sequence. Once traffic matches an anti-virus policy, the ZyWALL applies

 

that policy and does not check the traffic against any more policies.

The anti-virus policy has the ZyWALL scan traffic coming from this zone
