Important
For particular types of malware, disinfection is not possible because the detected
file is entirely malicious. In such cases, the infected file is deleted from the disk.
● If a suspicious file is detected, access to that file will be denied to prevent a
potential infection.
You should not change the default actions taken on detected files unless you have
a strong reason to do so.
To change the default actions taken on the infected or suspicious files detected:
1. Open BitDefender, click Options in the upper-right corner of the window and
choose Expert View.
2. Go to Antivirus > Shield.
3. Click Custom Level.
4. Configure the actions to be taken on each category of detected files, as needed.
The second action is taken if the first one fails (for example, if disinfection is not
possible, the infected file is moved to quarantine).
15.1.4. Restoring the Default Settings
The default real-time protection settings ensure good protection against malware,
with minor impact on system performance.
To restore the default real-time protection settings:
1. Open BitDefender, click Options in the upper-right corner of the window and
choose Expert View.
2. Go to Antivirus > Shield.
3. Click Default Level.
15.1.5. Configuring Active Virus Control
The BitDefender Active Virus Control detects potentially harmful applications based
on their behavior.
Active Virus Control continuously monitors the applications running on the computer,
looking for malware-like actions. Each of these actions is scored and an overall score
is computed for each process. When the overall score for a process reaches a given
threshold, the process is considered to be harmful. Depending on the program
settings, the process is blocked automatically or you may prompted to specify the
action to be taken.
Active Virus Control can be configured to alert you and prompt you for action
whenever an application tries to perform a possible malicious action.
