The Files, Mail and Web tabs let you configure the general behavior of the antivirus protection for the profile you are creating.
The action taken by Adaptive Defense 360 when finding a malware or suspicious file is defined by Panda Security's anti-malware laboratory, according to the following criteria:
Files identified as malware if disinfection is possible: They are disinfected. The original file is deleted and replaced with a harmless, disinfected copy.
Files identified as malware if disinfection is not possible: If disinfection is not possible, the file is moved to quarantine.
Here you can configure the basic operation of the antivirus with respect to the file protection.
Select Enable permanent file protection.
If you want the protection to scan compressed files, select the relevant checkbox.
Select the malicious software to detect:
Viruses: Programs that can enter computers or IT systems in a number of ways, causing effects that range from simply annoying to highly destructive and irreparable.
Hacking tools and PUPs: Potentially unwanted programs, as well as programs that can be used by hackers to carry out actions that cause problems for the user of the affected computer.
If the permanent file protection is enabled, it will not be possible to disable the virus detection option.
Enable the behavioral detection technologies:
Block malicious actions: Enables a set of anti-exploit technologies that scan the behavior of local processes looking for suspicious activity.
