Rules list
Rules are classified into three levels and are evaluated in this order:
•Filtering rules (1)—evaluated before antispam, antivirus and anti-phishing scanning
•Attachment processing rules (2)—evaluated during an antivirus scan
•Result processing rules (3)—evaluated after antispam, antivirus and anti-phishing scanning
Rules with the same evaluation level are reviewed in the order displayed in the rules window. You can only change the order for same-level rules. When you have multiple filtering rules, you can change their order. You cannot change their order by putting Attachment processing rules before Filtering rules, and the Up/Down buttons are unavailable. You cannot mix rules from different Levels.
The Hits column displays the number of times the rule was successfully applied. Deselecting a check box (to the left of each rule name) deactivates the corresponding rule.
Click Reset the counter for the selected rule (displayed in the Hits column). Select View to view a configuration assigned from ESET PROTECT policy.
|
Normally, if a rule's conditions are met, rules evaluation stops for further rules with a lower priority. However, if required, you can use special a Rule action called Evaluate other rules to allow the evaluation to continue. |
•Add—adds a new rule
•Edit—modifies an existing rule
•View—enables you to view a configuration assigned from ESET PROTECT policy
•Delete—removes the selected rule
•Up—moves the selected rule up in the list
•Down—moves the selected rule down in the list
•Reset—resets the counter for the selected rule (the Hits column)
|
If a new rule is added or an existing rule is modified, the message rescan will automatically start using the new or modified rules. |
