How can I enable / disable the automatic antivirus protection?

 

The automatic antivirus protection (files and mail), like the rest of the automatic protections, can be enabled or disabled either from the Platinum Internet Security main window, or from the program icon in the Windows system tray (next to the computer clock). Bear in mind that if this protection is not enabled your computer will not be protected against viruses or other threats.

 

Follow the steps below to enable or disable the antivirus protection from the program window:

 

1.    Select the Automatic protection option in the Platinum Internet Security main window.

2.    In the right panel of the window, a list will appear containing all Platinum Internet Security protections. In the antivirus protection section click on Settings.

3.    A window will be displayed, which allows you to disable the antivirus file protection or the antivirus mail protection independently.

 

·      If you want to enable or disable the antivirus file protection, check (or uncheck) the option Protect my computer against viruses.

·      To enable or disable the antivirus mail protection, check (or uncheck) the Scan e-mail option.

 

4.    Click OK.

 

If you want to configure the antivirus file protection or the antivirus mail protection, click on Settings, in the corresponding section.

 

In addition, you can also enable / disable and configure this protection by clicking on the Platinum Internet Security icon in the Windows system tray (next to the computer clock). Click here for more information.
