Please let us inform you that values of configuration parameters with special characters need to be written in quotes. This prevents evaulating of the special characters by command interpreter (shell). Please see the example below:
# avgcfgctl -w Tcpd.scan.Options.InfectableExtensions="|jpg|mp3|bmp|"
In case the command is executed without quoted special characters, shell is waiting for more inputs from the console, so the command is not performed. It is only possible to cancel the command by using Ctrl+C combination.
