If the
Heuristics
option is selected, ESET Mobile
Antivirus uses heuristic scanning techniques. Heuristics
is an algorithm‑based detection method that analyzes
the code and searches for typical virus behavior. Its main
advantage is the ability to identify malicious software
not yet known by the current virus signature database.
Archive nesting
allows you to specify the depth of
nested archives to be scanned.
Select
Archive deletion
to automatically
delete archive files containing infected objects.
