In the bottom part of the dialog you can set up some elementary functions of the rootkit presence
scanning. First, mark up the respective check-boxes to specify objects that should be scanned:
Scan applications
Scan drivers
You can also pick the rootkit scanning mode:
Quick rootkit scan - scans all running processes, loaded drivers, and the system folder (
typically c:\Windows).
Full rootkit scan - scans all running processes, loaded drivers, the system folder (typically
c:\Windows), plus all local disks (including the flash disk, but excluding floppy disk/CD
drives).
Control buttons
Search for rootkits - since the rootkit scan is not an implicit part of the Scan of the whole
computer, you can run the rootkit scan directly from the Anti-Rootkit interface using this
button.
Save changes - press this button to save all changes made in this interface and to return to
the default AVG main dialog (components overview).
Cancel - press this button to return to the default AVG main dialog (components overview)
without having saved any changes you made.
6.6. System Tools
System Tools refer to tools offering a detailed summary of the AVG Internet Security 2012
environment and the operating system. The component displays an overview of:
Processes - list of processes (i.e. running applications) that are currently active on your
computer
Network connections - list of currently active connections
Autostart - list of all applications that are executed during Windows system start-up
Browser Extensions - list of plug-ins (i.e. applications) that are installed inside your Internet
browser
LSP Viewer - list of Layered Service Providers (LSP)
Specific overviews can also be edited but this is only recommended for highly experienced
users!
