Description
Replaces and scans faster than Realtime File Protection.
Auto-Protect can be loaded on system startup, and then
unloaded on system shutdown to help protect against
viruses, such as Fun Love. It can be stopped and then
reloaded immediately or when the computer restarts.
Auto-Protect includes the following capabilities and
features:
Scanning for Internet email protects both incoming
■
and outgoing messages that use the POP3 or SMTP
communications protocol.
SmartScan replaces Scan selected types and Scan
■
selected exclusions options. SmartScan scans .exe
and .doc files even if the file extensions for the .exe
or .doc files are changed to extensions that it is not
configured to scan.
File caching, which stores an index of clean files,
■
can help track problems and fine tune Auto-
Protect's memory usage.
Rtvscan, the main Symantec AntiVirus service, and
■
Auto-Protect are separate components in the
Windows version. If Rtvscan stops, Auto-Protect
continues to detect viruses.
Lets you scan running processes to identify and handle
threats that are loaded into memory.
Lets you identify the source of network share-based
virus infections on computers that are running Windows
NT-based operating systems. Threats can be traced
using the source computer IP address and its NetBIOS
name.
Scans for new threats in the following categories:
,
Spyware, Adware Dialers, Joke Programs, Remote
Access programs, Hack Tools, and Trackware. Other
threats that do not meet these category requirements
are included in the Security Risks category.
Lets you move clients from one parent server to another
using a drag-and-drop operation.
