11.2.1.4. Heuristics

This configuration section contains the settings for the heuristic of the scan engine.
AntiVir products contain very powerful heuristics that can proactively uncover unknown

malware, i.e. before a special virus signature to combat the damaging element has been

created and before a virus guard update has been sent. Virus detection involves an

extensive analysis and investigation of the affected codes for functions typical of

malware. If the code being scanned exhibits these characteristic features, it is reported as

being suspicious. This does not necessarily mean that the code is in fact malware. False

positives do sometimes occur. The decision on how to handle affected code is to be made

by the user, e.g. based on his or her knowledge of whether the source of the code is

trustworthy or not.

Macrovirus heuristics

Your AntiVir product contains a highly powerful macrovirus heuristic. If this option is

enabled, all macros in the relevant document are deleted in the event of a repair,

alternatively suspect documents are only reported, i.e. you receive an alert. This option is

enabled as the default setting and is recommended.

Advanced Heuristic Analysis and Detection (AHeAD)

enable AHeAD

Your AntiVir program contains a very powerful heuristic in the form of AntiVir AHeAD

technology, which can also detect unknown (new) malware. If this option is enabled, you

can define how "aggressive" this heuristic should be. This option is enabled as the default

setting.
