Scanner Settings

Under Scanner Settings you can configure default settings for scans: 

• Detect Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) – PUPs are programs that are not dangerous by definition, but are usually unwanted by most users as they display ads or manipulate browsers. 
• Performance impact – Advises Windows to give the scanning threads the specified priority over other running processes. Priority can be set to a minimum to avoid negatively affecting the performance of other active tasks, e.g. when running lengthy background scans. 
  • Scan with highest priority for best speed – Define whether all CPU cores will be used with highest thread priority for best speed. 
  • Reduced priority for improved multitasking – Define whether two CPU cores will be saved for improved multitasking. 
• On scan completion – If you are scanning a large number of files that are expected to take a long time then you may wish to use the On scan completion setting to define what the program should do when the scan finishes: 
  • Report only – Report the results of the scan but do not automatically perform any other actions. 
  • Report only + computer shutdown – Report the results of the scan but do not automatically perform any other actions and shutdown the computer. 
  • Quarantine detections – Automatically move all detected objects into quarantine immediately after the scan finishes. 
  • Quarantine detections + computer shutdown – Automatically move all detected objects into quarantine immediately after the scan finishes and shutdown the computer.
