13.5.2. How to Scan
On the How to scan tab you will find a list of scanning parameters that can be
optionally switched on/off. By default, most parameters are switched on and the
functionality will be applied during scanning. Unless you have a valid reason to
change these settings we recommend to keep to the pre-defined configuration:
Automatically heal/remove infection - (switched on, by default): if a virus
is identified during scanning it can be healed automatically if a cure is
available. In case the infected file cannot be healed automatically, or if you
decide to switch off this option, you will be notified upon a virus detection and
will have to decide what to do with the detected infection. The recommended
action is to remove the infected file to the
Virus Vault
.
Scan Potentially Unwanted Programs - (switched on, by default): this
parameter controls the
Anti-Virus
functionality that allows
detection of
potentially unwanted programs
(executable files that can run as spyware or
adware) and these can then be blocked, or removed;
Scan for Tracking Cookies - (switched on, by default): this parameter of
the
Anti-Spyware
component defines that cookies should be detected during
scanning (HTTP cookies are used for authenticating, tracking, and maintaining
specific information about users, such as site preferences or the contents of
their electronic shopping carts) ;
