DetectPrefixes
Detection of other types of unwanted programs:
Besides viruses, there are other types of harmful or unwanted software. You can activate
their detection using the following options. The virus detection is not optional and you
can not deactivate it. The available categories are:
adspy - Software that displays advertising pop-ups or software that very often with-
out the user's consent sends user specific data to third parties and might therefore be
unwanted.
appl - an application of dubious origin or which might be hazardous to use.
bdc - the Control software for backdoors. BDCs are generally harmless.
dial - a Dial-Up program for connections that charge a fee. Its use might lead to
huge costs for the user.
game - a game, that causes no damage on your computer.
hiddenext - a file with an executable extension, hidden behind a harmless one.
joke - a harmless joke program, present as file.
pck- a file compressed with an unusual runtime compression tool.
phish - faked emails that are supposed to prompt the victim to reveal confidential
information such as user accounts, passwords or online-banking data on certain web-
sites.
spr - software that may compromise the security of your system, initiate unwanted
program activities, damage your privacy or spy out your user behavior and might
therefore be unwanted.
alltypes - option to detect all supported malware types.
Syntax: list of types, separated by whitespace or colon.
