10.9.1. Resident Shield Principles
The Resident Shield scans files as they are copied, opened or saved. When the
Resident Shield discovers a virus in a file that is accessed, it stops the operation
currently being performed and does not allow the virus to activate itself. The
Resident Shield, loaded in the memory of your computer during system startup,
also provides vital protection for the system areas of your computer.
10.9.2. Resident Shield Interface
Besides an overview of the most important statistical data and the information on the
component's current status (Resident Shield is active and fully functional), the
Resident Shield interface offers some elementary component settings options, too.
The statistics is as follows:
Resident Shield has been active for - provides the time since the latest
component's launch
Threats detected and blocked - number of detected infections that were
prevented from being run/opened (if needed, this value can be reset; e.g. for
statistic purposes - Reset value)
