 Scan inside archives - (on by default): this parameter defines the scanning

should check all files even if they are stored inside an archive, e.g. ZIP,

RAR, ...;

 Use Heuristics - (on by default): heuristic analysis (dynamic emulation of

the scanned object’s instructions in a virtual computer environment) will be

one of the methods used for virus detection during scanning;

 Scan system environment - (on by default): scanning will also check the

system areas of your computer;

 Scan for rootkits - - unfortunately, this option is deactivated with AVG 8.5

Free; if you are interested in further and extended functionality within AVG 8

full products, please visit the AVG website (www.avg.com) for information on

AVG 8 purchase options;

 Scan infectable files only - (off by default): with this option switched on,

scanning will not be applied to files that cannot get infected. These can be for

instance some plain text files, or some other non-executable files.

Within the Scan process priority section you can further specify the desired

scanning speed dependent on system resource usage. By default, this option is set to

the medium level of automatic resource usage. If you want the scanning to run faster,

it will take less time but the system resources usage will increase significantly during

the scan, and will slow down your other activities on the PC (this option can be used

when your computer is switched on but nobody is currently working on it). On the

other hand, you can decrease the system resources usage by extending the scanning

duration.
