Actions Page

On this page, you can configure reactions of SpIDer Guard to detection of infected or suspicious files and malware.

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

•Objects infected with a known and (supposedly) curable virus

•Incurable objects that are infected with an incurable virus

•Supposedly infected (suspicious) objects

•Objects that pose potential threat (riskware)

Reaction of SpIDer Guard to detection of various malicious software is also set separately. Set of 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	Instructs 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. The action is available only for objects infected with a known virus that can be cured except for Trojan programs and files within complex objects such as archives, mailboxes or file containers. This is the only action available for boot sectors.
Delete	Instructs to delete the object. This action is not available 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 to move the object to a specific folder of Quarantine. This action is not available 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	Instructs to skip the object without performing any action or displaying a notification. The action is available only for potentially dangerous files: adware, dialers, jokes, hacktools and riskware.

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

Copies of all processed objects are stored in Quarantine.

After performing reaction you configured, SpIDer Guard can display a notification above the SpIDer Agent icon in the notification area. If necessary, you can configure desktop and email notifications.
