In the Web Protection dialog you can edit the component's configuration regarding the scan of the
website content. The editing interface allows you to configure the following elementary options:
Enable Web protection - this option confirms that the Online Shield should perform a
scan o the www page content. Provided this option is on (by default), you can also switch
these items in/off:
o Check archives - (off by default): scan the content of archives possibly included in
the www page to be displayed.
o Report Potentially Unwanted Programs and Spyware threats - (on by default):
check to activate the Anti-Spyware engine, and scan for spyware as well as for
viruses. Spyware represents a questionable malware category: even though it usually
represents a security risk, some of these programs can be installed intentionally. We
recommend that you keep this feature activated as it increases your computer
security.
o Report enhanced set of Potentially Unwanted Programs - (off by default): mark to
detect extended package of spyware: programs that are perfectly ok and harmless
when acquired from the manufacturer directly, but can be misused for malicious
purposes later. This is an additional measure that increases your computer security
even more, however it may block legal programs, and is therefore switched off by
default.
