Basic component configuration
First of all, you have the option to immediately switch on/off the
Online Shield
by
checking the
Enable Online Shield
item. This option is enabled by default, and the
Online Shield
component is active. However, if you do not have a good reason to
change this settings, we recommend to keep the component active. If the item is
checked, and the
Online Shield
is running, more configuration options are available
and editable on two tabs:
·
Web
- you can edit the component's configuration regarding the scan of the
website content. The editing interface allows you to configure the following
elementary options:
o
Online Shield
- this option confirms that the
Online Shield
should
perform scanning of the www pages content. Provided this option is on (
by default
), you can further switch on/off these items:
Ø
Check archives
- scan the content of archives possibly included in
the www page to be displayed
Ø
Report Potentially Unwanted Programs and Spyware threats
- (
on by default
): check to activate the
Anti-Spyware
engine, and
scan for spyware as well as for viruses.
Spyware
represents a
questionable malware category: even though it usually represents a
security risk, some of these programs can be installed intentionally.
We recommend to keep this feature activated as it increases your
computer security.
