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
malware detections. However, allowing more detections
might result in more false 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 when 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 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 malware. However, some detections might result
in a false positive. With this setting, the lab checks that
popular applications and operating 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
computer.
High - Use this setting for deployment to systems or areas
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 executing
programs or operating systems. Detections found with this
level are presumed malicious, but have not been fully tested
to determine if they are false positives. Use this setting for
on-demand scans on non-operating system volumes. This
setting results in an average of 20–25 queries per day, per
computer.

Not Selected
This policy is the "master policy" for all other On-Demand
Protection: Full Scan policies.
If this policy is Not Selected, no
On-Demand Protection: Full Scan policies are enforced,
regardless of other policy values.
A Selected value means that On-
Demand Protection: Full Scan
is enabled.
This policy must be set to Selected to enable On-Demand
Pro
tection: Full Scan settings. If this policy is Not Selected, no
On-Demand Protection: Full Scan policies will be applied.
By default, every time Full Scan runs, it scans the following
locations for threats:
- the computer memory for installed rootkits, hidden
processes, and other behavior that suggests malware is
attempting to hide itself. This scan occurs before all other
scans.
- the memory of all running processes.
- all drives and their subfolders on the computer.
