Configuration
10.6.1 Scan
Web Protection protects you against viruses or malware that reach your computer from
web pages that you load on your web browser from the Internet. The Scan options can be
used to set the behavior of the Web Protection component.
Scan
Enable IPv6 support
If this option is enabled, Internet Protocol version 6 is supported by the Web
Protection. This option is not available for new or changed installations under Windows
8.
Drive-by protection
Drive-by protection allows you to make settings to block I-Frames, also known as inline
frames. I-Frames are HTML elements, i.e. elements of Internet pages that delimit an area
of a web page. I-Frames can be used to load and display different web content - usually
other URLs - as independent documents in a sub-window of the browser. I-Frames are
mostly used for banner advertising. In some cases, I-Frames are used to conceal
malware. In these cases the area of the I-Frame is mostly invisible or almost invisible in
the browser. The Block suspicious I-frames option allows you to check and block the
loading of I-Frames.
Block suspicious I-frames
If this option is enabled, I-Frames on the web pages you request are scanned
according to certain criteria. If there are suspect I-Frames on a requested web page,
the I-Frame is blocked. An error message is displayed in the I-Frame window.
Action on detection
You can define the actions to be performed by Web Protection when a virus or unwanted
program is detected.
Interactive
If this option is enabled, a dialog box appears when a virus or unwanted program is
detected during an on-demand scan, in which you can choose what is to be done with
the affected file. This option is enabled as the default setting.
Show progress bar
If this option is enabled, a desktop notification appears with a download progress bar if
a download of website content exceeds a 20 second timeout. This desktop notification
is designed in particular for downloading websites with larger data volumes: If you are
surfing with Web Protection, website contents are not downloaded incrementally in the
Internet browser, as they are scanned for viruses and malware before being displayed
in the Internet browser. This option is disabled as the default setting.
