• Protect the "Hosts" file
When turned on, the "Hosts" file will be protected against modifications by spyware. Some malware may
try to use this file to substitute the IP address of a well-known DNS name with the IP address of a malicious
web site.
• Scan for tracking cookies
When this setting is turned on, tracking cookies will be detected. Real-time scanning will only detect
tracking cookies that are stored on disk, not cookies that are only stored in the web browser's cache.
Manual scanning will detect cookies stored both on disk and in the web browser's cache.

can also be part of a virus definitions update. These included extensions are first combined by Client Security,
and then any excluded extensions are removed from that list to determine the actual list of files to scan. This
applies to real-time scanning, manual scanning and e-mail scanning.
