What causes this issue?

Configuration parameter &V1& is to be set. This is an
(&V2&) Initialization parameter
(&V3&) Scan parameter
Setting this type of parameter is not permitted in the current context.
It is therefore not possible to set initialization parameters at the
level of a virus scan profile, since these are only evaluated when
starting the virus scan server or generating a scanner instance in the
Business Add-In VSCAN_INSTANCE, but not for individual scan requests.
