Planning and Fine Tunning the Strategy | << | >> |
The On line Protection is responsible for protecting the machine from
the attack of viruses at the time of occurrence. For better
understanding the settings are grouped under various heads
Scan A File when
Run - Scans the file when the file is executed. Default is ON.
Accessed - Scans the file when the file is Accessed. This
scans the file even if there is any attempt to explore the
drive/directory or an attempt to view the directory. Being very
tight control, it results into slow down of the system due to
over blocking of the activity. Default is OFF.
Download or Created - Scans a file for viruses when the
file is downloaded or created. It also scans the files if they
are expanded from a compressed file or copied from one location
to other. Default ON.
Scan
Executable Files - Scans only the files with
executable extension during specified activities
User Specified Extensions - It scans the files
with specific extensions only. Use the user specified
extensions dialog box to add new extensions, delete extensions
and reset the extensions to the default extension installed
with Quick Heal. The file extension list contains the majority
of executable extensions. If scan for user specified extensions
is selected in scanner settings then Quick Heal anti-virus
only scans files with extensions on this list.
To add a particular extension to the default list, type your
extension in the edit box given at the bottom of the dialog
and click Add.
To drop an extension from the list, select the extension and
click Delete.
To Reset the extension to default list, just click default.
To accept the list press OK.
Floppy Acitivties -
Scan the Boot Sector of the Floppy whenever accessed. This
blocks the use of Floppy Diskettes with Boot Sector virus infection.
