Feature summary
Auto-Protect blocks the
programs that have been
identified as spyware or
adware before they can be
installed on your computer.
By default, manual and
scheduled scans search for
spyware, adware, and other
security risks. Auto-Protect
scans for these items as well.
If a scan removes a security
risk program that another
program relies on for
functionality, you can restore
the security risk program
from Security History.
