5.2. Active Virus Control Alerts
Active Virus Control can be configured to alert you and prompt you for action
whenever an application tries to perform a possible malicious action.
If you are using the Basic View or Intermediate View interface, a pop-up will inform
you whenever Active Virus Control blocks a potentially harmful application. If you
are using Expert View, you will be prompted for action, through an alert window,
when an application exhibits malicious behavior.
If you know and trust the detected application, click Allow.
If you want to immediately close the application, click OK.
Select the Remember this action for this application check box before making
your choice and Acronis Internet Security will take the same action for the detected
application in the future. The rule that is thus created will be listed in the Active
Virus Control configuration window.
5.3. Device Detection Alerts
Acronis Internet Security automatically detects when you connect a removable
storage device to your computer and offers to scan it before you access its files.
This is recommended in order to prevent viruses and other malware from infecting
your computer.
Detected devices fall into one of these categories:
CDs/DVDs
USB storage devices, such as flash pens and external hard-drives
mapped (remote) network drives
When such a device is detected, an alert window is displayed.
To scan the storage device, just click Yes. The Antivirus Scan wizard will appear
and guide you through the scanning process.
If you do not want to scan the device, you must click No. In this case, you may find
one of these options useful:
Don't ask me again about this type of device - Acronis Internet Security will
no longer offer to scan storage devices of this type when they are connected to
your computer.
Disable automatic device detection - You will no longer be prompted to scan
new storage devices when they are connected to the computer.
If you accidentally disabled automatic device detection and you want to enable it,
or if you want to configure its settings, follow these steps:
1. Open Acronis Internet Security, click Options in the upper-right corner of the
window and choose Expert View.
