enable AHeAD
Your Avira program contains a very powerful heuristic in the form of Avira AHeAD
technology, which can also detect unknown (new) malware. If this option is enabled,
you can define how "aggressive" this heuristic should be. This option is enabled as the
default setting.
Low detection level
If this option is enabled, slightly less unknown malware is detected, the risk of false
alerts is low in this case.
Medium detection level
This option is enabled as the default setting if you have selected the use of this
heuristic.
High detection level
If this option is enabled, significantly more unknown malware is detected, but there are
also likely to be false positives.

Report
The System Scanner has a comprehensive reporting function. You thus obtain precise
information on the results of an on-demand scan. The report file contains all entries of the
system as well as alerts and messages of the on-demand scan. (Options available in
expert mode only.)
Note
To be able to establish what actions the System Scanner has performed, when
viruses or unwanted programs have been detected, you should activate the
report file in the expert-mode configuration.
Reporting
Off
If this option is enabled, the System Scanner does not report the actions and results of
the on-demand scan.
Default
When this option is activated, the System Scanner logs the names of the files
concerned with their path. In addition, the configuration for the current scan, version
information and information on the licensee is written in the report file.
Extended
When this option is activated, the System Scanner logs alerts and tips in addition to
the default information.
