Besides an overview of the most important statistical data and the information on the
component's current status (
Resident Shield is active and fully functional
), the
Resident Shield
interface offers some elementary component settings options, too.
The statistics is as follows:
·
Resident Shield has been running for
- provides the time since the latest
component's launch
·
Threats detected and blocked
- number of detected infections that were
prevented from being run/opened (
if needed, this value can be reset; e.g. for
statistic purposes - Reset value
)
Basic component configuration
In the bottom part of the dialog window you will find the section called
Resident
Shield settings
where you can edit some basic settings of the component's
functionality (
detailed configuration, as with all other components, is available via the
Tools/Advanced settings item of the system menu
).
The
Resident Shield is active
option allows you to easily switch on/off resident
protection. By default, the function is on. With resident protection on you can further
decide how the possibly detected infections should be treated (removed):
o
either automatically (
Remove all threats automatically
)
o
or only after the user's approval (
Ask me before removing threats
)
This choice has no impact on the security level, and it only reflects your preferences.
In both cases, you can still select whether you want to
Scan for tracking cookies
. In
specific cases you can switch this option on to achieve maximum security levels,
however it is switched off by default. (
