When ena
bled, samples are submitted to the lab to
determine if they are malware. Sensitivity level
configures the sensiti
vity level to use when determining
if a detected
sample is malware.
The higher the sensitivity level, the higher the number of
malware
detections. However, allowing more detections
might result in more false positive res
ults.
Risk levels:
Very low
- The detections and risk of false positives are
the sam
e as with regular content files. A detection is
made available to Threat Protection whe
n the la
b publishes
it instead of waiting for the next file update. Use this
setting for desktops and servers with restri
cted user
rights and a strong security footprint
. This setting
results in an average of 10
–15 queries per day, per
comp
uter.
Low
- This setting is the minimum recommendation for
laptops or desktops and servers 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 is
greater than the risk of a false positive.
The proprietary, heuristic checks result in detections
that are likely to be m
alware. However, some detections
might result in
a false positive. With this setting, the
lab checks that popular applications and oper
ating system
files do not result in a false positive. This setting is
the minimum recommendation for laptops or desktops
and
servers. This setting results in an average
of 20–25
queries per day, per comp
uter.
High
- Use this setting for deployment to systems or ar
eas
which are regularly infected. This setting results in an
average 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
