Settings tab

The Settings tab displays a complete overview of the settings related to the protection component.

Establish a scan task priority ranking to be used when the processor is weighed down. The default setting for

Pause virus scan when CPU is busy with other applications is unchecked. With this feature, the program tracks the load on the processor and disk subsystems for the activity of other applications. If the load on the processor increases significantly and prevents the user's applications from operating normally, the program reduces scanning activity. This increases scan time and frees up resources for the user's applications.

Set the computerÆs mode of operation for after the virus scan is complete. You can set up the computer to shut down, restart, or go into standby or sleep mode. To select an option, left-click on the hyperlink until it displays the option you need.

You may need this feature if, for example you start a virus scan at the end of the work day and do not want to wait for it to finish.

However, to use this feature, you must take the following additional steps: before launching the scan, you must disable password requests for objects being scanned, if enabled, and enable automatic processing of dangerous objects. Then the programÆs interactive features will be disabled. The program will not ask questions that require an answer from you, which interrupts the scanning process.
