Search for Rootkits before scan
If this option is enabled and a scan is started, the Scanner scans the Windows system
directory for active rootkits in a so-called shortcut. This process does not scan your
computer for active rootkits as comprehensively as the scan profile "Scan for rootkits",
but it is significantly quicker to perform.
Important
The rootkit scan is not available for Windows XP 64 bit !

Scanner priority
With the on-demand scan, the Scanner distinguishes between priority levels. This is only
effective if several processes are running simultaneously on the workstation. The
selection affects the scanning speed.
Low
The Scanner is only allocated processor time by the operating system if no other process
requires computation time, i.e. as long as only the Scanner is running, the speed is
maximum. All in all, work with other programs is optimal: The computer responds more
quickly if other programs require computation time while the Scanner continues running
in the background. This option is enabled as the default setting and is recommended.
Medium
The Scanner is executed with normal priority. All processes are allocated the same
amount of processor time by the operating system. Under certain circumstances, work
with other applications may be affected.
High
The Scanner has the highest priority. Simultaneous work with other applications is
almost impossible. However, the Scanner completes its scan at maximum speed.
