Scan archives
If this option is enabled, then archives will be scanned. Compressed files are scanned,
then decompressed and scanned again. This option is deactivated by default. The archive
scan is restricted by the recursion depth, the number of files to be scanned and the
archive size. You can set the maximum recursion depth, the number of files to be
scanned and the maximum archive size.

Note
This option is deactivated by default, since the process puts heavy demands on the

on-demand scan.

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.
