In general, the risk of obtaining false negatives is rather high if the selected<br />
security level is not very strict. Vice versa, there is a higher risk of obtaining<br />
false positives when the security level is increased.<br />
The overall Proactive Scanning security level is by default set to Medium.<br />
After modifying this security level, all options and actions configured so far for<br />
the Proactive Scanning filter are reset by the configuration wizard according to<br />
the new level. The wizard then returns you to the Proactive Scanning tab.<br />
Use the radio buttons next to the security levels and the Do it now button to<br />
configure an overall security level for Proactive Scanning:<br />
• Relaxed<br />
If this option is enabled, mobile code that is most obviously malicious will<br />
be blocked, while all other mobile code is allowed.<br />
This adds an additional security level to virus scanning, while keeping the<br />
risk of overblocking low.<br />
Mobile code that is most obviously malicious, as well as mobile code that<br />
will perform operations not required for that kind of mobile code, will be<br />
blocked, while all other mobile code is allowed.<br />
This implements a security level with a balanced ratio between protection<br />
against unknown, malicious code, and the risk of overblocking.<br />
At this level, the false positives risk can be represented in comparison to<br />
the false negatives risk as follows:<br />
• Medium<br />
If this option is enabled, mobile code that is most obviously malicious, as<br />
well as mobile code that will perform operations not required for that kind<br />
of mobile code, will be blocked, while all other mobile code is allowed.<br />
This implements a security level with a balanced ratio between protection<br />
against unknown, malicious code, and the risk of overblocking.
