ProActiv
Avira AntiVir ProActiv protects you from new and unknown threats for which there are
not yet any virus definitions or heuristics available. ProActiv technology is integrated
into the Guard component and observes and analyzes the program actions performed.
The behavior of the program is checked against typical malware action patterns: Type of
action and action sequences. If a program exhibits behavior typical of malware, this is
treated as a virus detection : You have the option of blocking the program or ignoring
the notification and continuing to use the program. You can classify the program as
trusted and add it to the application filter for permitted programs. You have the option
of adding the program to the application filter for blocked programs using the
Always
block
command.
The ProActiv component uses rule sets developed by the Avira Malware Research Center
to identify suspicious behavior. The rule sets are supplied by Avira GmbH databases.
Avira AntiVir ProActiv sends information on any suspicious programs detected to the
Avira databases for logging. You have the option of disabling data transmission to the
Avira databases
Note
ProActiv technology is not yet available for 64 bit systems! Windows 2000 does not
support ProActiv components.
General
Enabling Avira AntiVir ProActiv
If this option is enabled, programs on your computer system are monitored and checked
for suspicious actions. You will receive a message if typical malware behavior is detected.
You can block the program or select "
Ignore"
to continue to use the program. The
monitoring process excludes: Programs classified as trusted, trusted and signed
programs included by default in the permitted applications filter, and all programs which
you have added to the application filter for permitted programs.
Participating in the AntiVir ProActiv Community enhances your computer’s security.
If this option is enabled, Avira AntiVir ProActiv sends data on suspicious programs and,
in certain cases, suspicious program files (executable files) to the Avira Malware
Research Center for advanced online scanning. After evaluation, these data are added to
the ProActiv behavioral analysis rule sets. In this way, you become part of the Avira
ProActiv community and contribute to the continuous improvement and refinement of
the ProActiv security technology. No data are sent if this option is disabled. This has no
effect on ProActiv functionality.
