 Scan inside archives - (switched on, by default): this parameters defines that

the scanning should check all files even if these are packed inside some type

of archive, e.g. ZIP, RAR, ...

 Use Heuristics - (switched 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 - (switched on, by default): scanning will also

check the system areas of your computer;

 Scan for rootkits - tick this item if you want to include the rootkit detection into

scanning of the entire computer. The rootkit detection is also available on its own

within the Anti-Rootkit component;

 Scan infectable files only - (switched off, by default): with this option

switched on, scanning will not be applied to files that cannot get infected.

These can be for instance some plain text files, or some other non-executable

files.

Within the Scan process priority section you can further specify the desired scanning

speed dependent on system resource usage. By default, this option value is set to

the medium level of automatic resource usage. If you want the scanning to run faster,

it will take less time but system resources usage will increase significantly during its

run, and will slow down your other activities on the PC (this option can be used when

your computer is switched on but nobody is currently working on it). On the other

hand, you can decrease system resources usage by extending the scanning duration.

Note: By default, the scanning configuration is set up for optimum performance.

Unless you have a valid reason to change the scanning settings it is highly

recommended to stick to the predefined configuration. Any configuration changes

should be performed by experienced users only. For further scanning configuration

options see the Advanced settings dialog accessible via the File / Advanced

setting system menu item.
