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.

Config
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.
