Anti-Virus

Scanning Options
Scan all files
Scans all files for viruses. We recommend scanning all files, unless the computer is slow. You can speed up the system performance by scanning defined files only. There is a small risk of missing some infections when scanning defined files only.
Scan defined files
Scan only a predefined set of files. This option is recommended for the real-time protection. Click View... to define files that you want to scan.

You cannot remove system defined file extensions but you can add more files to the scan. To specify files that have no extension, type ‘.’ You can use the wildcard ‘?’.

Scan inside compressed files
Scans files inside compressed ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, CAB, TAR, BZ2, GZ, JAR and TGZ archives.

Scanning inside large compressed files uses a lot of system resources and slows down the system. Therefore it is not recommended with the real-time protection. This setting is for advanced users only. Do not enable this setting unless you have a specific reason to do so.

Scan web traffic (HTTP)
Scans web traffic and downloaded files for viruses, but not for spyware. If an infection is found, the content of the infected file is removed automatically.

You have to restart your browser to activate or deactivate web traffic scanning.

You cannot change some Virus and Spy Protection settings if you use a High or Normal protection level. If you want to configure all settings manually, select Custom as your virus protection level.
