Protection – Packer Identification
Packers are files that pack together many files, or compress a single file to reduce file size. These files do not need a third party
application to get unpacked. They have an inbuilt functionality of packing and unpacking. Packers can also be used as tools to
spread malware by packing a malicious file amidst a set of files. There are certain packers that are used specifically to spread
malicious files. These packers, when unpacked can cause harm to your PC. By default Quick Heal Packer Identification scans the
system for a select list of highly suspicious packers and alerts you if such a packer is found.
You can also customize the list of packers that Quick Heal Packer Identification can scan. To include additional packers in the scan
please customize the Packer Identification by performing the following steps:
1. Start Quick Heal Total Security.
2. Click Options under main windows menu of the Quick Heal Total Security.
3. Double click Protection to collapse the Protection menu.
4. Select Packer Identification.
