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

Compressed File Scanning


Quick Heal is powered to scan inside ARJ and ZIP format compressed files. It even supports recursive compressions. Quick Heal also supports, LZ compressed EXE files.

Quick Heal internally decompresses these files and scans them for the viruses. It is imperative, that this makes it much slower than the regular scanning.

A virus can move into a compressed file only if the file is infected before the compression.

Virus found inside the compressed file cannot be removed. It has to be expanded and then scanned to remove viruses from it.
