13.5.2.How to Scan

On the How to scan tab you will find a list of scanning parameters that can be

optionally switched on/off. By default, most parameters are switched on and the

functionality will be applied during scanning. Unless you have a valid reason to change

these settings we recommend to keep to the pre-defined configuration:

 Automatically heal/remove infection - (switched on, by default): if a virus

is identified during scanning it can be healed automatically if a cure is available

. In case the infected file cannot be healed automatically, or if you decide to

switch off this option, you will be notified upon a virus detection and will have

to decide what to do with the detected infection. The recommended action is

to remove the infected file to the Virus Vault.

 Scan Potentially Unwanted Programs - (switched on, by default): this

parameter controls the Anti-Virus functionality that allows detection of

potentially unwanted programs (executable files that can run as spyware or

adware) and these can then be blocked, or removed;

 Scan for Tracking Cookies - (switched on, by default): this parameter of the

Anti-Spyware component defines 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) ;
