5.3.2.4. Packed
executables
Scanner can check for viruses in packed executable files that are unpacked
by the special engine.
Packed executable files contain special unpacking modules. When such a
file is started, the module unpacks the program to RAM and then runs it.
Packing utilities can pack infected files along with clean ones. If these are
scanned by a conventional anti-virus scanner, the infected file would be
passed as virus-free, because the virus body was packed together with the
program code.
To enable
the unpacking engine
,
type
Yes
in the
Packed
line of the profile. After this, your Scanner will be
able to check and delete viruses from packed executable files.
This parameter corresponds to the command line switch
-U[-]
. The
switch
-U
disables and the switch
-U-
enables the unpacking engine.
