VirusBuster Internet Security Suite

Relaxed. Particular types of executable files are checked only when they are executed. Files larger than
20MB are skipped.
If you want to create your own real-time protection level, click the Customize button. In the dialog box you can
set the real-time protection operation mode. Select Check files on every access attempt, which will prevent all
access attempts to files infected by known malware. Note that this last mode can affect system performance. Or,
you can select Check files on execution, if you want to prevent known malware from executing, but don't want
to prevent other access attempts such as copying malware samples or displaying the contents of a folder where
malware is located. Only file extensions that are on the Extensions list will be checked on any access attempt.
Tip:

To improve scan performance, you can have VirusBuster Internet Security Suite create scan status cache
files in each scanned folder by selecting the Enable SmartScan technology check box on the General
tab of the product properties. Note, that the cache files are invisible and therefore may cause false
positives from anti-rootkit tools.
On detecting a suspicious program, VirusBuster Internet Security Suite will block its activity and display an alert to
the user that allows him to immediately scan the detected object for malware.
You can also set visual alerts to be displayed and/or sound alerts to be played when malware is detected by
clicking the Alerts button and selecting the corresponding check boxes. VirusBuster Internet Security Suite will
display a visual alert and play the specified sound file each time malware is detected and cured or quarantined.
This lets you learn the programs you run and the sites you visit that are injecting malware or at the very least are
susceptible to malware.
If you want to exclude particular folders from being scanned, click the Exclusions button on the Anti-Malware
page, select the Paths tab and click Add. Browse to the folder and click OK to add it to the exclusions list.
Note:

To see the objects that the Anti-Malware component detected and removed, select the Event Viewer
section in the main window and click the Anti-Malware log.
8.3 Scanning Mail Attachments
One of the simplest ways for worms, Trojans, and other malware to get into your computer is through e-mail
attachments. Hundreds of self-replicating programs use e-mail and address lists of unlucky users to distribute
themselves throughout the Internet and/or a local network. A user needs only to open the file attached to a
received e-mail and the worm or virus starts performing its malicious actions resulting in system infection and
malfunction.
VirusBuster Internet Security Suite protects you from attachments containing viruses, worms, and Trojans,
checking files attached to e-mail arriving to and being sent from your computer and quarantining those which
VirusBuster Internet Security Suite recognizes as potentially dangerous
Mail scanner
To configure the mail scanner, click Settings on the toolbar and select the Mail Scanner page. Under Mail
scanner you can select which mail will be scanned: both incoming and outgoing mail or incoming mail only
according to your needs. Also specify the action to perform on malware that is detected in your e-mail by selecting
Cure or Quarantine in the When malware found list.
If you do not want to check e-mail messages for viruses and other malware, select Do not scan mail.
Attachment filter
If you consider some types of attachments to be potentially dangerous even after they pass a clean malware check
(for example, the scanner could simply be not "aware" of a new virus in the wild) or for some reason have disabled
mail scanning, you still have the ability to prevent probable damage caused by opening or executing such a file.
