Auto-Protect includes a feature that is called Download Insight, which examines
the files that users try to download through Web browsers, text messaging clients,
and other portals.
Supported portals include Internet Explorer, Firefox, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook
Express, Windows Live Messenger, and Yahoo Messenger.
Download Insight determines that a downloaded file might be a risk based on
evidence about the file's reputation. Download Insight is supported only for the
clients that run on Windows computers.
Managing Virus and Spyware Protection
Managing Download Insight detections
Description
Bloodhound locates and isolates the logical
regions of a file to detect virus-like behavior. You
can change the detection level from Automatic
to Aggressive to increase the protection on your
computers. The Aggressive setting, however, is
likely to produce more false positives.
See Modifying global scan settings for Windows
clients" on page 188.
Description
Some settings are locked by default; you can lock
additional settings so that users cannot change
the protection on their computers.
Specify Quarantine, Delete, or Terminate actions
for detections.
Note: Be careful when you use Delete or
Terminate for security risk detections. The action
might cause some legitimate applications to lose
functionality.
See Changing the action that Symantec Endpoint
Protection Small Business Edition takes when it
makes a detection" on page 190.
