Quick Heal Next Gen - Comprehensive Virus Defence << >>

Integrity Scanning


Quick Heal keeps an integrity/checksum information for all the files in the Hard Disk. This module checks the integrity of a file based on stored checksums. The checksum files are named as QHCHK.INF and QH32CHK.INF.

After completing the signature scanning Quick Heal reverts to the integrity checker and looks for if any integrity failure. In case of integrity failure, it tries to rebuild the file with the integrity information. In most of the cases, the file is reverted to the original format. The original copy of recovered file is stored with the extension .vir in the original files home folder. It is strongly advised that such files be send to our Virus Research Centre, Pune for further analysis.
