How to set the nested level for scanning compressed files for manual scan?

Issue:

How to set the max nested level for scanning compressed files (archives) for manual scan?

Resolution:

You can change the max depth for a manual scan when scanning archives for Elements Agent (EPP for Computers and Servers, Client Security and Server Security by changing the ods.contained.maxdepth value in the Windows registry.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Registry Editor on the Windows device
  2. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FSecure\Ultralight\Settings\ods.container.maxdepth] "value"=dword:00000002
  3. Change the "dword" value.
  4. Restart the fsulhoster service or restart the computer for the change to take effect

Note: "00000002" is the nested level. For example, if it is set to 1, only the container will be scanned, 2 subfolders will not be scanned.
