SELECTING THE SCAN METHOD
Scan methods consist in scanning URLs in IM clients' messages to know if they are included in the list of suspicious
URLs and / or in the list of phishing URLs.
To improve protection efficiency, you can use the heuristic analysis (i.e., analysis of activity that an object performs in the
system). This analysis allows detecting new malicious objects which are not yet described in the databases. When using
heuristic analysis, any script included in an IM client's message is executed in a protected environment. If this script's
activity is typical of malicious objects, the object is likely to be classed as malicious or suspicious. By default, heuristic
analysis is enabled.
