- sent to the Avira Malware Research Center.

Show progress bar
If this option is enabled, a desktop notification appears with a download progress bar if a
download of website content exceeds a 20 second timeout. This desktop notification is
designed in particular for downloading websites with larger data volumes: If you are
surfing with WebGuard, website contents are not downloaded incrementally in the
Internet browser, as they are scanned for viruses and malware before being displayed in
the Internet browser. This option is disabled as the default setting.
Automatic
If this option is enabled, then no dialog box for selecting an action appears following the
detection of a virus or unwanted program. WebGuard reacts according to the settings
you define in this section.
Display detection alerts
If this option is activated, then for each detection of a virus or unwanted program a
warning message appears showing the actions being executed.
Primary action
The primary action is the action carried out when WebGuard finds a virus or an
unwanted program.
Deny access
The website requested from the web server and/or any data or files transferred are not
sent to your web browser. An error message to notify you that access has been denied is
displayed in the web browser. WebGuard logs the detection to the report file if the report
function is activated. WebGuard also appends an entry to the event log if the relevant
option is enabled.
isolate
In the event of a virus or malware being detected, the website requested from the web
server and/or the transferred data and files are moved into quarantine. The affected file
can be recovered from quarantine manager if it has an informative value or - if necessary
- sent to the Avira Malware Research Center.
ignore
The website requested from the web server and/or the data and files that were
transferred are forwarded on by WebGuard to your web browser. Access to the file is
permitted and the file is ignored.

The affected file remains active on your workstation! It may cause serious damage on
your workstation!
