7.4. Resident Shield
7.4.1. 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.
