Enable the NAS Antivirus Service on an SMB Share
You can enable the NAS antivirus service for individual SMB shares. To nd out whether antivirus scanning is enabled for a particular
SMB share, see Monitor the NAS Antivirus Service.
NOTE: You cannot congure the antivirus service when you create an SMB share at the same time as you create a NAS

2. Click the SMB Shares tab to display a list of SMB shares.
3. Select an SMB share.
4. Click Modify SMB Share, then click the Antivirus Settings tab.
5. Select or clear Enable virus scanning.
6. Click OK.
In the list of SMB shares, the column titled Virus scanning now reads enabled for this share.
After you enable the antivirus service, you can:
• Control which le types are excluded from being scanned
• Control which directories are excluded from being scanned
