The Options tab is the 5th down the left on the main Cyberhawk control panel. It has 3 tabs across the top: General, Quarantine, and Rootkit Scan.
The items in the General Options tab are:
Cyberhawk Protection
Ensures that Cyberhawk can actively monitor your computer for signs of suspicious behavior and potential attacks.
Check for Updates
Automatically checks for program updates available for download on the Novatix servers.
Community Protection
Automatically reports to Novatix information about the event when a suspect rule is triggered by Cyberhawk. Participating in the Secure Community is win-win: you help identify new threats and provide better protection to all other Cyberhawk users, and in turn, other members do the same for you. If Community Protection is ever set to Off, the Check for Updates option is automatically set to Off as well and cannot be turned back on until Community Protection is turned back on.
If you are using Windows XP or later version of Windows, you can tell Cyberhawk to automatically set a System Restore Point before performing any quarantine action. While it is very rare that there would be any problems during quarantine, having a system restore point to revert back to is just an added safety measure to make it easy to recover from any potential problem.
To set this option, simply check the checkbox to Set System Restore Point. Should you decide you wish to stop setting restore points, simply uncheck the same box.
We recommend that you scan for rootkits at least once a week. Under the Rootkit Scan options tab you can configure Cyberhawk to conduct either a Quick Scan or Full Scan automatically for you at the time and frequency of your choice.
To schedule an automatic scan:
Check the Run a scheduled scan box to indicate that you wish to turn on and run automatic scans.
Use the Time, Repeat, and Type dropdown boxes to choose the scanÆs start time, repeat frequency and type.
Click OK to confirm your scan options.
Click Cancel to cancel your dropdown box selections.
You must click OK to confirm that you wish to run an automatic scan with the specified scan choices.
Important: Please note that when you run an automatic scan, any items found will be automatically quarantined. You can manage quarantined items in the Quarantine section of the Threat Control Center.
