Quick Heal Protection Center
Quick Heal Protection Center is your instant interface to vital protection settings that can affect files, folders, emails, etc. It also
allows users to configure protection against viruses that try to gain entry through Internet, external drives and emails. Quick Heal
Protection Center is split into two sections.
The top strip of the Protection Center acts as a security status indicator which displays color coded icons that indicate s the security
status at any moment. The icons and the description of their status are as follows:
If the icon is red, it indicates that Quick Heal Total Security requires your immediate
attention. The icon turns red if your copy is not activated, if your license has expired or if
some vital settings have been disabled.
If the icon is green, it indicates that Quick Heal Total Security is safe and the settings
maintained are optimal to protect your system.
If the icon is Orange, it indicates that Quick Heal Total Security is providing you with a
warning that might not require your immediate attention, but might require your attention
at the earliest.
Each colored icon has an action associated with it which needs to be executed by the user.
Quick Heal Protection Center also provides four categories of protection and customizable settings. These four categories are the
areas or medium through which a malware can gain access and infect your system. The four categories of protection are as follows:
•
Files & Folders
•
Emails
•
Internet & Network
•
External Drives & Devices
Each of these categories displays two vital features of that particular category, below the category icon. These features have to be
enabled all the time. If you want to disable these features, for some reasons, then the corresponding category icons will turn red.
The categories and their corresponding features displayed on the Dashboard are as follows:
Files & Folders Virus Protection, DNA Scan
Emails Email Protection, Spam Protection
Internet & Network Firewall Protection, Phishing Protection
External Drives and Devices Autorun Protection, Scan External Drives
