– Enable program file heuristics scanning. Choose this option
to have the System Scan module locate new viruses in program
files by examining file characteristics and comparing them
against a list of known virus characteristics. The module will
identify files with a sufficient number of these characteristics as
potential viruses.
– Enable macro and program file heuristics scanning.
Choose this option to have the module use both types of
heuristics scanning. Dr Solomon's Software recommends that
you use this option for complete anti-virus protection.
NOTE: The System Scan module will use heuristic
scanning techniques only on the file types you designate
in the Program File Extensions dialog box. If you choose
to scan All files, the module will use heuristic scanning for
all file types.
