11.5.2. How to Scan
On the
How to scan
tab you will find a list of scanning parameters that can be
optionally switched on/off. By default, most parameters are switched on and the
functionality will be applied during scanning. Unless you have a valid reason to change
these settings we recommend to keep to the pre-defined configuration:
·
Automatically heal/remove infection
- (
switched on, by default
): if a virus
is identified during scanning it can be healed automatically if a cure is available
. In case the infected file cannot be healed automatically, or if you decide to
switch off this option, you will be notified upon a virus detection and will have
to decide what to do with the detected infection. The recommended action is
to remove the infected file to the
Virus Vault
.
·
Report Potentially Unwanted Programs and Spyware threats
- (
switched
on, by default
): this parameter controls the
Anti-Virus
and
Anti-Spyware
components functionality that allows
detection of potentially unwanted
programs
(
executable files that can run as spyware or adware
) and these can
then be blocked, or removed;
·
Scan for Tracking Cookies

switched on, by default
): this parameter of the
Anti-Spyware
component defines that cookies should be detected during
scanning (
