18.3. Registry Control
A very important part of the Windows operating system is called the Registry. This
is where Windows keeps its settings, installed programs, user information and so
on.
The Registry is also used to define which programs should be launched
automatically when Windows is started. Viruses often use this in order to be
automatically launched when the user restarts his computer.
Registry Control keeps an eye on the Windows Registry - this is again useful for
detecting Trojan horses. It will alert you whenever a program will try to modify a
registry entry in order to be executed at Windows start-up. For more information,
please refer to “Registry Alerts” (p. 34).
To configure Registry Control:
1. Open BitDefender, click Options in the upper-right corner of the window and
choose Expert View.
2. Go to Privacy Control > Registry.
3. Select the corresponding check box to enable Registry Control.
