You can specify actions to be applied to various types of computer threats automatically, if manual processing of detected malicious objects appears to be disabled. You can set different automatic reaction for Scanner Daemon and SpIDer Guard.
For various types of threats you can specify one of the following actions:
• | Cure (available only for infected files) - try to cure the object infected with known virus. If it turns out to be impossible to cure this file, then an action for incurable files is applied. This action is used by default for infected files. |
• | Delete - delete infected or suspicious file. |
• | Move - move infected or suspicious file to the Quarantine directory. This action is used by default for incurable files. |
• | Report - notify the user about a detected threat. When this action is selected, all operation with detected malicious objects must be performed manually. This action is used by default for suspicious files and riskware, such as hacktools, jokes etc. |
• | Ignore (available for suspicious files and all types of riskware) - pass the file (a notification will be output to log that a certain file is infected). |

|
Default settings specified on Actions tab provide optimal protection for your system. It is not recommended to modify them unless it is necessary.
