Delete
The file will be deleted. This process is much quicker than overwrite and delete . If a
boot sector virus is detected, this can be deleted by deleting the boot sector. A new
boot sector is written.
–
Overwrite and delete
The file is overwritten with a default template and then deleted. It cannot be
restored.
–
Rename
The file is renamed with a *.vir extension. Direct access to these files (e.g. with
double-click) is therefore no longer possible. Files can be repaired and given their
original name at a later time.
–
Ignore
No further action is taken. The infected file remains active on your computer.
Warning
This could result in loss of data and damage to the operating system! Only select the
Ignore option in exceptional cases.
–
Always ignore
Action option for Guard detections: No further action is taken by Guard. Access to
the file is permitted. All further access to this file is permitted and no further
notifications will be provided until the computer is restarted or the virus definition
file is updated.
–
Copy to quarantine
Action option for a rootkit detection: The detection is copied to quarantine.
–
Repair boot sector | Download repair tool
Action options when infected boot sectors are detected: A number of options are
available for repairing infected diskette drives. If your AntiVir program is unable to
perform the repair, you can download a special tool for detecting and removing boot
sector viruses.
Note
If you carry out actions on running processes, the processes in question are terminated
before the actions are performed.
Actions of the Guard for detections made by the ProActiv component
(notification of suspicious actions of an application):
–
Trusted program
The application continues to run. The program is added to the list of permitted
applications and is excluded from monitoring by the ProActiv component. When
adding to the list of permitted applications, the monitoring type is set to Content .
This means that the application is only excluded from monitoring by the ProActiv
component if the content remains unchanged (see
Configuration::Guard::ProActiv::Application filter: Permitted applications).
–
Block program once
The application is blocked, i.e. the application is terminated. The actions of the
application continue to be monitored by the ProActiv component.
–
Always block this program
