BitDefender <strong>Antivirus</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> <strong>2011</strong><br />

Important<br />

For particular types of malware, disinfection is not possible because the detected<br />

file is entirely malicious. In such cases, the infected file is deleted from the disk.<br />

● If a suspicious file is detected, access to that file will be denied to prevent a<br />

potential infection.<br />

You should not change the default actions taken on detected files unless you have<br />

a strong reason to do so.<br />

To change the default actions taken on the infected or suspicious files detected:<br />

1. Open BitDefender, click Options in the upper-right corner of the window and<br />

choose Expert View.<br />

2. Go to <strong>Antivirus</strong> > Shield.<br />

3. Click Custom Level.<br />

4. Configure the actions to be taken on each category of detected files, as needed.<br />

The second action is taken if the first one fails (for example, if disinfection is not<br />

possible, the infected file is moved to quarantine).<br />

15.1.4. Restoring the Default Settings<br />

The default real-time protection settings ensure good protection against malware,<br />

with minor impact on system performance.<br />

To restore the default real-time protection settings:<br />

1. Open BitDefender, click Options in the upper-right corner of the window and<br />

choose Expert View.<br />

2. Go to <strong>Antivirus</strong> > Shield.<br />

3. Click Default Level.<br />

15.1.5. Configuring Active Virus Control<br />

The BitDefender Active Virus Control detects potentially harmful applications based<br />

on their behavior.<br />

Active Virus Control continuously monitors the applications running on the computer,<br />

looking for malware-like actions. Each of these actions is scored and an overall score<br />

is computed for each process. When the overall score for a process reaches a given<br />

threshold, the process is considered to be harmful. Depending on the program<br />

settings, the process is blocked automatically or you may prompted to specify the<br />

action to be taken.<br />

Active Virus Control can be configured to alert you and prompt you for action<br />

whenever an application tries to perform a possible malicious action.<br />
