Scan for tracking cookies (off by default): this parameter specifies that cookies should be detected
during scanning; (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).
Scan inside archives (off by default): this parameter specifies that 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.
Enable thorough scanning (off by default): in specific situations (suspicious of your computer being
infected) you may check this option to activate the most thorough scanning algorithms that will scan
even those areas of your computer that rarely get infected, just to be absolutely sure. Remember
though that this method is rather time-consuming.
Scan for rootkits (on by default): Anti-Rootkit scan searches your computer for possible rootkits, i.e.
programs and technologies that can cover malware activity in your computer. If a rootkit is detected,
this does not necessarily mean your computer is infected. In some cases, specific drivers or sections
of regular applications may be misleadingly detected as rootkits.
