Cleaning levels

No cleaning

The end user receives an interactive window while cleaning objects and must select an action (for example, delete or ignore). This level is designed for more advanced users who know which steps to take if the detection occurs.

Normal cleaning

Attempt to clean the detection while cleaning objects without any end user intervention. In some cases (for example, system files or archives with both clean and infected files), if the detection cannot be cleaned, the reported object is left in its original location if the detection cannot be cleaned.

Strict cleaning

Attempt to clean the detection while cleaning objects without any end user intervention. In some rare cases (for example, system files), the reported object is left in its original location if the detection cannot be cleaned.

Rigorous cleaning

Attempt to clean the detection while cleaning objects. In some cases, if no action can be performed, the end user receives an interactive alert and must select a cleaning action (for example, delete or ignore). This setting is recommended in most cases.

Delete

Attempt to delete all infected files without any end user intervention.
