Every update for the database of threat signatures contains new records that protect your computer from the latest threats.

It is recommended that you scan the quarantined objects and startup objects each time after the database is updated.

Why these objects should be scanned?

The quarantine contains objects that have been flagged by the application as suspicious or possibly infected. However, during that scan it was impossible to identify the malicious software that caused infection. Using the latest version of the threat signatures, Active Virus Shield may be able to identify the threat and eliminate it.

By default, the application scans quarantined objects after each threat signature update. We also recommend that you periodically view the quarantined objects because their status can change after several scans. Some objects can then be restored to the previous locations and you will be able to continue working with them.

To disable scans of quarantined objects, clear the Rescan Quarantine box in the Actions after Update section.

Startup objects are critical for the safety of your computer. If one of them is infected with a malicious application, this can cause even an operating system startup failure. To scan this area Active Virus Shield has a built-in startup objects scan task. We recommend that you set up a schedule for this task so that it is launched automatically after each threat signatures database update.
