File System Shield - Scan when executing

Manage these settings at: Menu ▸ Settings (gear icon) ▸ Active Protection ▸ File System Shield ▸ Customize ▸ Scan when executing

Define which files and programs the File System Shield analyzes when they are run or executed.

Options

Specify the file types to scan at the moment they are run. It is recommended to enable all options on this screen.

• Scan programs when executing - All programs are scanned at the moment they are run to ensure they are clean.
• Scan scripts when executing - All scripts are scanned at the moment they are run to ensure they are clean.
• Scan libraries (DLLs) when loading - All library files used by a program are scanned when the program is run. This causes some applications to start more slowly, but significantly increases security.
