Internet MONitor (IMON) Conguration
While the role of AMON is to provide real-time, resident, anti-virus
monitoring of a system and user actions, the IMON module protects your
computer from email and internet threats. To allow scanning of POP3 email
and while also using the internet, we recommend having IMON enabled.
IMON is enabled by default in all installation modes, but can be disabled if
desired in Advanced and Expert modes.
IMON’s primary role is to monitor incoming email. The key advantage of
IMON is its ease of use. There is virtually no setup necessary since this
module works with all email programs. IMON works on the winsock level
(operating system level).
If IMON is not enabled, the AMON module will still prevent
the opening of infected attachments saved from email and
the internet. However, it is strongly recommended that
IMON be enabled while using email or the internet.
