CHANGING ACTIONS TO BE PERFORMED ON DETECTED OBJECTS
If infected or potentially infected objects are detected, the application performs an action depending on the selected
operation mode: automatic or interactive. You can modify the specified action.
To change the specified action to be performed on detected objects:
1. Open the main application window.
2. In the top part of the window, click the Settings link.
3. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Mail Anti-Virus component.

ATTACHMENT FILTERING
Malware is most often distributed in mail as objects attached to messages. To protect your computer, for example, from
automatic launch of attached files, you can enable filtering of attachments, which can automatically rename or delete files
of specified types.
To enable filtering of attachments:
1. Open the main application window.
2. In the top part of the window, click the Settings link.
3. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Mail Anti-Virus component.
4. Click the Settings button in the Security level section in the right part of the window.
5. Use the Attachment filter tab of the displayed window to select the filtering mode for attachments. When you
select either of the last two modes, the list of file types (extensions) will become enabled; there you can select
the required types or add a mask to select a new type.
To add a new type mask to the list, click the Add link to open the Input file name mask window and enter the
necessary data.
SCAN OF COMPOUND FILES
A common method of concealing viruses is to embed them into compound files: archives, databases, etc. To detect
viruses that are hidden in this way a compound file should be unpacked, which can significantly lower the scan speed.
You can enable or disable the scan of attached archives and limit the maximum size of archives to be scanned.
