Scanning parameters - in the list of scanning parameters you can switch on/off specific
parameters as needed:
o Heal / remove virus infection without asking me (on by default) - If a virus is
identified during scanning it can be healed automatically if a cure is available. If the
infected file cannot be healed automatically, the infected object will be moved to the
Virus Vault.
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 packages 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.
o Scan for Tracking Cookies (off by default) - This parameter of the Anti-Spyware
component specifies that cookies should be detected; (HTTP cookies are used for
authenticating, tracking, and maintaining specific information about users, such as
site preferences or the contents of their electronic shopping carts).
