Below are details on antivirus policy settings and behaviors.
Scanning Profiles
Choose between three predefined scanning profiles to determine the level of protection. The profile will apply for On access and Behavioral scanning.
- Aggressive: Configures scanning settings for maximum protection against any type of malware. Scans all files from local and network drives (including archived and almost zero-risk files).
- Normal: This option is designed to provide optimum balance between security and performance. Scans all files from local drives and application files from network drives (except for archived and almost zero-risk files).
- Permissive: This option provides basic security and may be useful for less powerful or legacy systems. Scans only accessed application files from local and network drives, as well as incoming emails. Low-risk files, outgoing emails, web traffic, and Spyware are not scanned.
