8.12.1. Resident Shield Principles
The
Resident Shield
component gives your computer continuous protection. It scans
every single file that is being opened, saved, or copied, and guards the system areas
of the computer. When
Resident Shield
discovers a virus in a file that is accessed, it
stops the operation currently being performed and does not allow the virus to activate
itself. Normally, you do not even notice the process, as it runs "in the background",
and you only get notified when threats are found; at the same time,
Resident Shield
blocks activation of the threat and removes it.
Resident Shield
is being loaded in the
memory of your computer during system startup.
Warning: Resident Shield is loaded in the memory of your computer during
startup, and it is vital that you keep it switched on at all times!
