Using Advanced Options while scanning
The Advanced options determine how to perform a scan. You can set following options as per your requirements:
Scan Archive Files When this option is selected Quick Heal Total Security scans files inside the
archive files. Quick Heal Total Security can scan archive files like ARJ, CAB, CHM,
GZ, MSExpand, RAR, SIS, TAR, TNEF and ZIP. Scanning inside compressed files
increases scanning time. Quick Heal Total Security can detect viruses inside the
compressed file; however it cannot remove the virus from these files. You are
advised to decompress such files, remove the viruses from them and compress
the same again. This will ensure that the compressed copy is also virus free.
Scan Packed files When this option is selected Quick Heal Total Security scans packed executable
files (.exe’s) packed by popular packages like COM2EXE and LZex.
Show Packed/Archive

Scan Mailboxes Quick Heal Total Security can scan Outlook Express 5.x Mail Box (inside .DBX
files). Viruses like KAK, JS.Flea.B etc. remain inside DBX files and can reappear
from there, if patches are not applied for OE. It also scans for email attachments
with Outlook Express 5.0. It scans email
attachments encoded with
UUENCODE/MIME/BinHex (Base 64).
Quick Scan : If this option is selected then Quick Heal scans
new mails and does not scan previously scanned
emails. By default this option is selected.
Thorough Scan : If this option is selected then Quick Heal always
scans all mails every time. This scan takes a long
time.
