Detection :: Guard

If the option interactive is selected in the configuration of the Guard in the group Handling when malware is detected, you are asked what is to be done with a detected virus or unwanted program.

Alert message

Name and path of the currently detected virus or unwanted program

The name and path of the currently detected virus or unwanted program is displayed in the middle window of the message.

Options

Repair

If this option is enabled, the Guard repairs the affected file.

Note
The option Repair can only be enabled if a repair of the detected file is possible.

Move to quarantine

If this option is enabled, the Guard moves the file to quarantine. The file can be restored from the Quarantine Manager if it has an informative value or û if necessary û sent to the AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic virus lab. Depending on the file, further selection options are available in the Quarantine Manager.

Delete

If this option is enabled, the file is deleted but can be restored if necessary with appropriate tools (e.g. UNDELETE). The virus signature can be found again. This process is much quicker than "overwrite and delete".

Deny access

If this option is enabled, the Guard only enters the detection in the Report file if the Report function is enabled. In addition, the Guard writes an entry in the Event log, if this option is enabled.

Ignore

If this option is enabled, access to the file is allowed and the file is left as it is.

Warning
The affected file remains active on your workstation! It may cause serious damage on your workstation!
