Max. recursion depth
When scanning archives, the Real-Time Protection uses a recursive scan: Archives in
archives are also unpacked and scanned for viruses and unwanted programs. You can
define the recursion depth. The default value for the recursion depth is 1 and is
recommended: all files that are directly located in the main archive are scanned.
Max. number of files
When scanning archives, you can restrict the scan to a maximum number of files in
the archive. The default value for the maximum number of files to be scanned is 10
and is recommended.
Max. size (KB)
When scanning archives, you can restrict the scan to a maximum archive size to be
unpacked. The standard value of 1000 KB is recommended.
Action on detection
You can define the actions to be performed by Real-Time Protection when a virus or
unwanted program is detected. (Options available in expert mode only.)
Interactive
If this option is enabled, a desktop notification appears when Real-Time Protection
detects a virus or unwanted program. You have the option of removing the detected
malware or accessing other possible virus treatment actions via the "Details" button.
The actions are displayed in a dialog box. This option is enabled as the default setting.
Permitted actions
In this display box you can specify the virus management actions that should be
available as further actions in the dialog box. You must activate the corresponding
options for this.
Repair
Real-Time Protection repairs the infected file if possible.
Rename
Real-Time Protection renames the file. Direct access to these files (e.g. with double-
click) is therefore no longer possible. The file can be repaired at a later time and
renamed again.
Quarantine
Real-Time Protection moves the file to Quarantine. The file can be recovered from
Quarantine manager if it has an informative value or - if necessary - sent to the Avira
Malware Research Center. Depending on the file, further options are available in the
Quarantine manager.
Delete
The file will be deleted. This process is much faster than Overwrite and delete (see
below).
