Advanced Virus Protection
Settings
Select additional protection features for the virus and spyware
protection service. If none of these features are selected, the service
still detects viruses.
Enable outbreak response: Check for an outbreak detection
definition (
DAT) file every hour.
Enable buffer overflow protection: Detect code starting to run
from data in reserved memory and prevent that code from
running. The virus and spyware protection service protects
against buffer overflow in more than 30 most commonly used
Windows-based programs. SonicWALL updates this list as it
adds buffer overflow protection for additional programs.
Important: Buffer overflow protection does not stop data from
being written. Do not rely on the exploited application remaining
stable after being compromised, even if buffer overflow
protection stops the corrupted code from running.
Enable script scanning: Detect harmful code embedded in web
pages that would cause unauthorized programs to run on client
computers.
Scan email (before delivering to the Outlook Inbox): Look for
threats in email before it is placed into the user’s Inbox.
Scan all file types during on-access scans: Inspect all types of
files, instead of only default types, when they are downloaded,
opened, or run. (Default file types are defined in the dat files.)
Scan within archives during on-access scans (e.g., .zip, .rar,
.tat, .tgz )
: Look for threats in compressed archive files when the
files are accessed.
Scan within archives during on-demand scans (e.g., .zip, .rar,
.tat, .tgz )
: Look for threats in compressed archive files when
they are scanned manually.
