Additional ThreatSense parameters

The probability of infection in newly-created or modified files is comparatively higher than in existing files. For this reason, the program checks these files with additional scanning parameters. Advanced heuristics, which can detect new threats before a module update is released, are also used along with standard signature-based scanning methods. In addition to newly-created files, scanning is performed on self-extracting archives (.sfx) and runtime packers (internally compressed executable files).

By default, archives are scanned up to the 10th nesting level and are checked regardless of their actual size. To modify archive scan settings, disable Default archive scan settings.
