Actions Page

On this page, you can configure reactions of SpIDer Guard to various virus events.

For different types of compromised objects, actions are assigned separately from respective drop-down lists:

•Objects infected with known and (supposedly) curable viruses
•Objects infected with incurable viruses
•Supposedly infected (suspicious) objects

Reaction on detection of various malicious software is also set separately. The actions available for selection depend on the type of the virus event.

You can select one of the following actions for detected virus threats:

Action

Description

Cure

(Available for known viruses only except Trojan programs that are deleted on detection.)

Instructs SpIDer Guard to try to restore the original state of an object before infection. If the object is incurable, or the attempt of curing fails, the action set for incurable viruses is applied.

This is the only action available for boot sectors.

Delete

Instructs SpIDer Guard to delete the object. This action is impossible for boot sectors. No action is performed on malicious objects for which you selected this action, if they are detected in a boot sector.

Move to quarantine

Instructs SpIDer Guard to move the object to the special Quarantine folder. This action is impossible for boot sectors. No action is performed on malicious objects for which you selected this action, if they are detected in a boot sector.

Ignore

(Available for potentially dangerous files only which includes adware, dialers, jokes, hacktools and riskware.)

Instructs SpIDer Guard to skip the object without performing any action or displaying a notification.

 

Note

SpIDer Guard does not check complex objects such as archives, mail boxes or file containers. No actions is performed on such objects or files within them.

 

Backup copies of all processed objects are stored in Quarantine.

 

After performing reaction you configured, SpIDer Guard displays a notification above the SpIDer Agent icon in the taskbar notification area. If necessary, you can configure desktop and e-mail notifications.
