Report Potentially Unwanted Programs and Spyware threats - 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 - this parameter of the
Anti-Spyware
component
defines that cookies should be detected; (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)
Scan inside archives - this parameters defines that scanning should check
all files even those stored inside archives, e.g. ZIP, RAR, ...
Use Heuristics - heuristic analysis (dynamic emulation of the scanned object’
s instructions in a virtual computer environment) will be one of the methods
used for virus detection during scanning;
Scan system environment - scanning will also check the system areas of
your computer;
Scan for rootkits - tick this item if you want to include the rootkit detection
into scanning of the entire computer. The rootkit detection is also available on
its own within the
Anti-Rootkit
component;
Scan infectable files only - with this option switched on, files that cannot
get infected will not be scanned. These can be for instance some plain text
files, or some other non-executable files.
o
Scan media files – check to scan media files (Video, Audio etc.). If you
leave this box unchecked, it will reduce the scanning time even more,
because these files are often quite large and are not too likely to be
infected by a virus.
Scan process priority
Within the Scan process priority section you can further specify the desired
scanning speed dependent on system resource usage. By default, this option value is
set to the medium level of automatic resource usage. If you want the scanning to run
faster, it will take less time but system resources usage will increase significantly
during the scan, and will slow down your other activities on the PC (this option can
be used when your computer is switched on but nobody is currently working on it).
On the other hand, you can decrease system resources usage by extending the
scanning duration.
