Enabled / Disabled - The button may remind you of a traffic light, both in appearance and in

functionality. Single click to switch between two positions. The green color stands for Enabled, which

means that the AntiVirus security service is active and fully functional. The red color represents the

Disabled status, i.e. the service is deactivated. If you do not have a good reason to deactivate the

service, we strictly recommend that you keep the default settings for all security configuration. The

default settings guarantees the optimum performance of the application, and your maximum security. If

for some reason you wish to deactivate the service, you will be warned about the possible risk

immediately by the red Warning sign and the information that you are not fully protected at the

moment. Please mind, that you should activate the service again as soon as possible!

the independent rootkit scan directly (however, the rootkit scan is an implicit part of the Scan of the whole

computer).

6.2. Web Browsing

The Web browsing protection consists of two services: LinkScanner Surf-Shield and Online Shield:

LinkScanner Surf-Shield protects you from the increasing number of ‘here today, gone tomorrow’

threats on the web. These threats can be hidden on any type of website, from governments to big,

well-known brands to small businesses, and they rarely stick around on those sites for more than 24

hours. LinkScanner protects you by analyzing the web pages behind all the links on any web page

you’re viewing and making sure they’re safe at the only time that matters – when you’re about to click

that link. LinkScanner Surf-Shield is not intended for server platforms protection!

Online Shield is a type of a real time resident protection; it scans the content of visited web pages

(and possible files included in them) even before these are displayed in your web browser or

downloaded to your computer. Online Shield detects that the page you are about to visit includes

some dangerous javascript, and prevents the page from being displayed. Also, it recognizes malware

contained in a page and stops its downloading immediately so that it never gets to your computer.

This powerful protection will block malicious content of any web page you try to open, and prevent it

from being downloaded to your computer. With this feature enabled, clicking a link or typing in a URL

to a dangerous site will automatically block you from opening the web page thus protecting you from

inadvertently being infected. It is important to remember that exploited web pages can infect your

computer simply by visiting the affected site. Online Shield is not intended for server platforms
