When the on

processes when they are executed.
Because some programs or executables
start automatically
when the computer starts, enabling
this option can slow

When enabled, samples are submitted to the lab to
determine if they are
malware. Sensitivity level
configures the sensitivity level to use when
determining
if a detected sample is malware.
The higher the sensitivity level, the higher the number of
malwar
e detections. However, allowing more detections
might result in more fals
e positive results.
Risk levels:
Very low
- The detections and risk of false positives are
the same as with regular content files. A detection is
made available to Threat Protection w
he
n the lab publishes
it instead of waiting for the next file update. Use
this
setting for desktops and servers with restricted user
rights and a
strong security footprint. This setting
results in an average of 10
–15 queries per day, per
computer.
Low
- This setting is the minimum recommendation for
laptops or desktops and serv
ers with a strong security
footprint. This setting results in an average
of 10–15
queries per day, per computer.
Medium
- Use this level when the regular risk of exposure
to malware i
s greater than the risk of a false positive.
The proprietary, heuristic c
hecks result in detections
that are likely to be malware. However, some
detections
might result in a false positive. With this setting, the
lab checks that popular applications and op
erating system
files do not result in a false positive. This setting is
t
he minimum recommendation for laptops or desktops and
servers. This sett
ing results in an average of 20–25
queries per day, per computer.
High
- Use this setting for deployment to syste
ms or areas
which are regularly infected. This setting results in an
av
erage of 20–25 queries per day, per computer.
Very high
- Dell recommends using this level only for
scanning volumes and directories that do not support
