Troubleshooting window (real-time protection)

Using the Troubleshooting window (for the real-time protection configuration), you can specify objects that you do not wish to scan in the real-time protection mode. This means that such objects will not be scanned for viruses when they are opened, run or saved.

Disable Real-Time Protection - disable all real-time protection functions of your computer. We do not recommend to check this box as this results in a considerably higher risk of your computer infection.

Disable Real-Time File Protection - disable protection of all files when they are opened, saved or run.

Disable Real-Time Mail Protection - do not scan mail messages downloaded to your mailboxes using POP3 protocol and messages that you send using SMTP protocol.

Disable Real-Time Script Protection - do not perform anti-virus scan when scripts (a VB Script or a Java Script) are executed in the Microsoft Internet Explorer environment.

Do not scan disk boot sectors - disable virus boot sectors scan.

Stop if scan takes longer than (sec) - stop the scan of an object and proceed to next object if the scan takes longer than the time specified in seconds in the corresponding field.

Enable the list of excluded objects - enable controls used to create the list of objects that will not be protected.

You may specify the file masks in the text field below the checkbox or use the Change... button to select the objects..
