Maximum recursion depth
When scanning archives, the Guard uses a recursive scan: Archives in archives are also
unpacked and scanned for viruses and unwanted programs. You can define the recursion
depth. The default value for the recursion depth is 1 and is recommended: all archives
that are directly located in the main archive are unpacked and scanned.

Autostart
Block autostart function
When this option is enabled, the execution of the Windows Autostart function is blocked
on all connected drives, including USB sticks, CD and DVD drives and network
drives. With the Windows Autostart function, files on data media or network drives are
read immediately on loading or connection, and files can therefore be started and copied
automatically. This functionality however carries with it a high security risk, as malware
and unwanted programs can be installed with the automatic start. The Autostart
function is especially critical for USB sticks as data on a stick can be changed at any time.

Only disable the Autostart function for CD and DVD drives if you are sure you are only
using trusted data media.

11.2.1.2. Exceptions
With these options you can configure exception objects for the Guard (on-access scan).
The relevant objects are then not included in the on-access scan. The Guard can ignore
file accesses to these objects during the on-access scan via the list of processes to be
omitted. This is useful, for example, with databases or back-up solutions.
