Active Virus Shield protects you from various malicious programs. Regardless of your settings, the program always scans and neutralizes viruses, Trojans, and backdoor programs, which can do the most damage to your computer. To make your computer even more secure, you can expand the list of threats that the program will detect by enabling monitors for various potentially dangerous programs.
To choose which malicious programs Active Virus Shield will protect you from, select the
Protection section in the
program settings window.
Viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits. These are the most common and dangerous categories of malicious programs. Monitoring against these threats is the minimum security level, and disabling this will significantly increase the possibility of infection. Hence, to protect your computer, this option is unselectable.
Spyware, adware, dialers.
These are potentially dangerous software that can steal your personal information and can cause damage to your computer and data.
Potentially dangerous software: remote access utilities, prank programs, jokes. These are not malicious or dangerous programs, but under certain circumstances they could be harmful to your computer.
The groups listed above govern the completeness of utilizing the threats signatures when scanning objects in real time and when searching for viruses on your computer.
If all groups are selected, Active Virus Shield provides full anti-virus protection for your computer. If the second and third groups are disabled, the program will only protect you from the most common malicious programs.
