Avira AntiVir Premium

The button opens a window in which you can select the required file or the required

path.

When you have entered a file name with its complete path, only this file is not scanned

for infection. If you have entered a file name without a path, all files with this name

(irrespective of the path or drive) are not scanned.

Add

With this button, you can add the file object entered in the input box to the display

window.

Delete

The button deletes a selected entry from the list. This button is inactive if no entry is

selected.
Note

If you add a complete partition to the list of the file objects, only those files that are

saved directly under the partition will be excluded from the scan, which does not apply

to files in sub-directories on the corresponding partition:

Example: File object to be skipped: D:\ = D:\file.txt will be excluded from the
scan of the Scanner, D:\folder\file.txt will not be excluded from the scan.

11.1.1.3. 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.
