2. Go to Antivirus>Virus Scan.
3. In the list of scan tasks, locate the Device Scanning task.
4. Right-click the task and select Properties. A new window will appear.
5. On the Overview tab, configure the scanning options as needed. For more
information, please refer to “Configuring Scan Settings” (p. 52).
6. On the Detection tab, choose which types of storage devices to be detected.
7. Click OK to save and apply the changes.
5.4. Firewall Pop-ups and Alerts
The firewall uses pop-ups to inform you about various events related to your network
connection (for example, when a new computer connects to your Wi-Fi network,
when a new application is allowed to access the Internet or when a port scan is
blocked). These pop-ups may be very useful in detecting intrusion attempts and
protecting yourself against network threats.
If you are using Expert View, you will be prompted for action, through an alert
window, whenever an unknown application tries to connect to the Internet.
You can see the following: the application that is trying to access the Internet, the
path to the application file, the destination, the protocol used and the port on which
the application is trying to connect.
Click Allow to allow all traffic (inbound and outbound) generated by this application
from the local host to any destination, over the respective IP protocol and on all
ports. If you click Block, the application will be denied access to the Internet over
the respective IP protocol completely.
Important
Allow inbound connection attempts only from IPs or domains you are sure to trust.
Based on your answer, a rule will be created, applied and listed in the table. The
next time the application tries to connect, this rule will be applied by default.
If you are using Basic View or Intermediate View, the connection attempt will be
automatically blocked.
5.5. Antiphishing Alerts
With antiphishing protection enabled, Acronis Internet Security alerts you when you
try to access web pages that may be set up to steal personal information. Before
you can access such a web page, Acronis Internet Security will block that page and
display a generic web page alert instead.
