How To Scan - AVG 9.0 FILE SERVER - REV 90.10 User Manual

11.5.2. How to Scan

On the How to scan tab you will find a list of scanning parameters that can be
optionally switched on/off. By default, most parameters are switched on and the
functionality will be applied during scanning. Unless you have a valid reason to change
these settings we recommend to keep to the pre-defined configuration:
· Automatically heal/remove infection - if a virus is identified during scanning
it can be healed automatically if a cure is available. In case the infected file
cannot be healed automatically, or if you decide to switch off this option, you
will be notified upon a virus detection and will have to decide what to do with
the detected infection. The recommended action is to remove the infected file
to the Virus Vault.
· Report Potentially Unwanted Programs and Spyware threats - this
parameter controls the
potentially unwanted programs
adware) and these can then be blocked, or removed;
· Report enhanced set of Potentially Unwanted Programs - detecting the
extended package of spyware: programs that are perfectly ok and harmless
when acquired from the manufacturer directly, but can be misused for
malicious purposes later. This is an additional measure that increases your
computer security even more, however it can possibly block legal programs -
that's why it is switched off by default;
· Scan for Tracking Cookies - this parameter of the
defines that cookies should be detected during scanning (HTTP cookies are
used for authenticating, tracking, and maintaining specific information about
users, such as site preferences or the contents of their electronic shopping
