Threats detected and blocked - number of detected infections that were

Basic component configuration
In the bottom part of the dialog window you will find the section called Resident
Shield settings where you can edit some basic settings of the component's
functionality (detailed configuration, as with all other components, is available via the
File/Advanced settings item of the system menu).
The Resident Shield is active option allows you to easily switch on/off resident
protection. By default, the function is on. With resident protection on you can further
decide how the possibly detected infections should be treated (removed):
o
either automatically (Remove all threats automatically)
o
or only after the user's approval (Ask me before removing threats)
This choice has no impact on the security level, and it only reflects your preferences.
In both cases, you can still select whether you want to Remove cookies
automatically. In specific cases you can switch this option on to achieve maximum
security levels, however it is switched off by default. (cookies = parcels of text sent
by a server to a web browser and then sent back unchanged by the browser each
time it accesses that server. HTTP cookies are used for authenticating, tracking, and
maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences or the contents
of their electronic shopping carts).
