Acronis Internet Security Suite 2010 protects your computer from all kinds of malware
(viruses, Trojans, spyware, rootkits and so on). The protection Acronis Internet
Security Suite 2010 offers is divided into two categories:
● Real-time protection - prevents new malware threats from entering your system.
Acronis Internet Security Suite 2010 will, for example, scan a word document for
known threats when you open it, and an e-mail message when you receive one.
Note
Real-time protection is also referred to as on-access scanning - files are scanned
as the users access them.
● On-demand scanning - allows detecting and removing the malware that already
resides in the system. This is the classic scan initiated by the user - you choose
what drive, folder or file Acronis Internet Security Suite 2010 should scan, and
Acronis Internet Security Suite 2010 scans it - on-demand. The scan tasks allow
you to create customized scanning routines and they can be scheduled to run on
a regular basis.
17.1. Real-time Protection
Acronis Internet Security Suite 2010 provides continuous, real-time protection
against a wide range of malware threats by scanning all accessed files, e-mail

Suite 2010 Antiphishing prevents you from disclosing personal information while
browsing the Internet by alerting you about potential phishing web pages.
