Virus and Spy Protection
Virus and Spy Protection includes several scanning methods: Real-Time
Scanning, E-mail Scanning, Web Traffic Scanning, Rootkit Scanning, and
Manual Scanning. It also includes System Control, Automatic Updates,
the F-Secure Automatic Update Agent and the Virus News service.
Real-Time Scanning
The Real-Time Scanning feature gives you continuous protection against
viruses and spyware as files are opened, copied, moved, renamed and
downloaded from the Web.
Real-Time Scanning functions transparently in the background, looking
for viruses whenever you access files on the hard disk, diskettes, or
network drives. If you try to access an infected file, Real-Time Scanning
will automatically stop the virus from executing. It will then either remove it
from the file or display a warning, as specified in the security policy. For
more information, see “
