Packers

You can manage these settings at: Menu ▸ Scan ▸ Scan for viruses ▸ <select scan type> ▸ Scan Settings ▸ Packers Menu ▸ Settings (gear icon) ▸ Active Protection ▸ File System/Mail/Web Shield ▸ Customize ▸ Packers

Specify which types of archive files are scanned - such as .zip, .rar, or other compressed files.

Note: We do not recommend to change these values unless you are an advanced user.

By default self-extracted archives, droppers and NTFS streams are checked as potentially suspicious. It is not necessary to scan other archive types; without extracting they cannot harm your computer. If the box All packers is checked all archive files are scanned, but this option significantly increases scanning time.
