Scanner – Memory Scan
Quick Heal Total Security scans the system memory every time it is started. It ensures that any infectious object is not running in
the memory. Quick Heal Total Security Memory scan is smart enough to scan executable processes and additionally their supporting
dynamic link libraries (.DLL).
Memory scanning mode
Quick Scan Scans memory for running executable processes only.
Thorough Scan Scans memory for running executable processes along with their
supporting dynamic link libraries. This scan will take considerable time.
DNAScan This feature scans for new malicious threats in the memory using Quick
Heal’s indigenous DNAScan technology. When a new threat is found
running in the memory it will clean the same. You will also have the
option to send the suspicious file to our research lab for further analysis
of that file. If that file is behaving like a malware then it will be added in
the known threat signature database.
Scanner – DNAScan
Objective
DNAScan is Quick Heal’s indigenous technology to detect and eliminate new and unknown malicious threats in the system.
Additionally it copies the suspected file in the Quarantine directory before taking any action. Quarantined suspicious files can be
submitted to our research lab for further analysis. This submission is important to curb the wild spread of new malicious threats.
Suspicious file submission ensures the detailed analysis of the file in our research lab. After the detailed analysis it can be added in
the known threat signature database which will be provided in updates to all the users. This can be only possible if they are
detected and eliminated before their wild spread. DNAScan technology successfully traps suspected files with very less false alarms.
Process
Whenever DNAScan detects a new malicious threat in your system it informs you, or asks for your action during memory scanning if
the scanning is set with Prompt settings. One copy of DNAScan suspected files will always be quarantined which can later be
submitted to research lab for further detailed analysis. The submission can be done automatically or manually through email. The
submission takes place whenever Quick Heal Total Security updates itself and finds new DNAScan suspected files in the Quarantine
folder. It sends new DNAScan suspicious quarantined files in an encrypted file format to Quick Heal research lab.
