Acronis AntiVirus 2010 protects your computer from all kinds of malware (viruses,
Trojans, spyware, rootkits and so on). The protection Acronis AntiVirus 2010 offers
is divided into two categories:
● Real-time protection - prevents new malware threats from entering your system.
Acronis AntiVirus 2010 will, for example, scan a word document for known threats
when you open it, and an e-mail message when you receive one.
Note
Real-time protection is also referred to as on-access scanning - files are scanned
as the users access them.
● On-demand scanning - allows detecting and removing the malware that already
resides in the system. This is the classic scan initiated by the user - you choose
what drive, folder or file Acronis AntiVirus 2010 should scan, and Acronis AntiVirus
2010 scans it - on-demand. The scan tasks allow you tocreate customized scanning
routines and they can be scheduled to run on a regular basis.
