Figure 29. Selecting a web security level
By default, the protection level is set to
Recommended
.
You can raise or lower the security level by selecting the level you want or editing
the settings for the current level.
To edit the security level:
Adjust the sliders. By altering the security level, you define the ratio of
scan speed to the total number of objects scanned: the fewer objects
are scanned for malicious code, the higher the scan speed.
If a preset level does not meet your needs, you can create a
Custom
security
level. Let’s look at an example of when such a level would be useful.
Example:
Your computer connects to the Internet via a modem. It is not on a
corporate LAN, and you have no anti-virus protection for incoming HTTP
traffic.
Due to the nature of your work, you regularly download large files from
the Internet. Scanning files like these takes up, as a rule, a fair amount of
time.
How do you optimally protect your computer from infection through HTTP
traffic or a script?
Tip for selecting a level:
Judging from this basic information, we can conclude that your computer
is running in a sensitive environment, and you are at high risk for infection
through HTTP traffic, because there is no centralized web protection and
due to the use of dial-up to connect to the Internet.
It is recommended that you use
High
as your starting point, with the
following changes: you are advised to limit the caching time for file
fragments during the scan.
To modify a preinstalled security level:
click the
Customize
button in the Web Anti-Virus settings window. Edit
the web protection settings (see 9.2 on pg. 109) in the window that
opens, and click
OK
.
