Selecting detection methods

There are two primary ways that Zone Labs Antivirus uses to scan files and detect viruses: Heuristic Analysis and Byte-level scanning.

To specify a detection method:

Select Antivirus|Main.


In the Protection area, click Antivirus Options.



The Advanced Antivirus Settings dialog appears.

Select your preferred detection method(s):
Heuristic Analysis	Heuristic Analysis scans files and identifies infections based a virus' characteristic behavior. Heuristic Analysis is enabled by default.
Byte-level filter	Byte-level filter scans each byte of the file to identify a virus. Byte-level scanning can take considerable time to perform. As a consequence, it is only recommended after a major virus attack to ensure that there are no infections left behind. Note: The Byte-level option does not support on-access scanning.



Click OK.
