8.7. Resident Shield
8.7.1. Resident Shield Principles
The Resident Shield component gives your computer continuous protection. It
scans every single file that is being opened, saved, or copied, and guards the system
areas of the computer. When Resident Shield discovers a virus in a file that is
accessed, it stops the operation currently being performed and does not allow the
virus to activate itself. Normally, you do not even notice the process, as it runs "in the
background", and you only get notified when threats are found; at the same time,
Resident Shield blocks activation of the threat and removes it. Resident Shield is
being loaded in the memory of your computer during system startup.
