Configure Anti-ransomware Options (AVCFGRWO)

The configure anti-ransomware options (AVCFGRWO) command allows you to specify the settings that control Powertech Antivirus' anti-ransomware capabilities.

Limit detection to NETSVR jobs (NETSVRONLY)

Specify whether to limit detection to the net server jobs, or whether to check for any access to files through the file server.

Typically ransomware runs on a PC client and encrypts remote files using shared folders or similar, and so only the net server jobs need to be checked. Limiting detection to just the net server jobs reduces the possibilities of false positives.

Possible values are:

*YES When *YES is specified, only the *NETSVR jobs will be analysed. This is the recommended setting.

*NO When *NO is specified, all accesses through the file server will be analysed.

*SAME When *SAME is specified, the setting will remain unchanged.
NOTE: Changing this setting does not require a restart of the *NETSRV jobs, although jobs started before the parameter is changed may use the original setting.
