can normally remove the malware code from an infected file and reconstruct
the original file. This operation is known as disinfection.
Note
Malware signatures are snippets of code extracted from actual malware samples.
They are used by antivirus programs to perform pattern-matching and detect
malware.
The Acronis Internet Security Malware Signature Database is a collection of
malware signatures updated hourly by the Acronis Internet Security malware
researchers.
▶ Suspicious files. Files are detected as suspicious by the heuristic analysis.
Suspicious files cannot be disinfected, because no disinfection routine is
available.
▶ Hidden files (rootkits). Please note that these hidden files are not the files
that you deliberately hide from Windows. They are the files hidden by special
programs, known as rootkits. Rootkits are not malicious in nature. However,
they are commonly used to make viruses or spyware undetectable by normal
antivirus programs.
You should not change the default actions taken on detected files unless you have
a strong reason to do so.
To set a new action, click the current First action and select the desired option
from the menu. Specify a Second action that will be taken in case the first one
fails.
Click OK to save the changes and close the window. To run the task, just click Scan.
