Note
The rootkits scan is not available for Windows XP 64 bit !
Scan Registry
If this option is enabled, the Registry is scanned for references to malware.
Ignore files and paths on network drives
If this option is enabled, network drives connected to the computer are excluded from
the on-demand scan. This option is recommended when the servers or other
workstations are themselves protected with anti-virus software. This option is disabled
as the default setting.
Scan process
Allow stopping the Scanner
If this option is enabled, the scan for viruses or unwanted programs can be terminated
at any time with the button "
Stop"
in the "Luke Filewalker" window. If you have
disabled this setting, the
Stop
button in the "Luke Filewalker" window has a gray
background. Premature ending of a scan process is thus not possible! This option is
enabled as the default setting.
Scanner priority
With the on-demand scan, the System Scanner distinguishes between priority levels.
This is only effective if several processes are running simultaneously on the
workstation. The selection affects the scanning speed.
low
The System Scanner is only allocated processor time by the operating system, if no
other process requires computation time, i.e. as long as only the System Scanner is
running, the speed is maximum. All in all, work with other programs is optimal: The
computer responds more quickly if other programs require computation time while the
System Scanner continues running in the background.
normal
The System Scanner is executed with normal priority. All processes are allocated the
same amount of processor time by the operating system. This option is enabled as the
default setting and is recommended. Under certain circumstances, work with other
applications may be affected.
high
The System Scanner has the highest priority. Simultaneous work with other
applications is almost impossible. However, the System Scanner completes its scan at
maximum speed.
