Real-Time Scanning
Real-time scanning is completely transparent. By default, all files
are scanned automatically when they are opened and executed.
Scheduled Scanning
If you want to scan the computer for viruses regularly, for
example once a week, you can create a scheduled scanning
task. Scheduled scanning uses the settings you have defined for
manual scanning.
Manual Scanning
You can launch a manual scan any time you want if you suspect
that there might be a virus on a computer. You can specify the
manual scanning settings, for example the directories to scan
and the action to take, independently of the real-time scanning
settings.
On the Real-Time Scanning page, you can select what to scan
automatically in real-time and what to do when a virus or other malware is
found.
In most cases you do not need to change the Real-Time Scanning default
settings before you take the system into use.
When the real-time scanning is enabled, any file you open is
automatically scanned for viruses.

By default, the primary action for infections is Disinfect and secondary
action Rename. Choose one of the following actions:
