In case a file contains a virus or any type of the malware, or the file check failed, the following actions can be performed:

Curethe plug-in tries to cure the object. If it cannot be cured, it will be blocked.

Move to Quarantinethe object will be blocked and its copy will be saved in Dr.Web quarantine and/or WinGate quarantine (depending on the quarantine settings).

Ignore – the object will be passed through without any changes.

On the Scan options section, specify the following options:

Heuristic analysisselect/clear this check box to enable/disable the heuristic analyzer that  allows to detect the unknown viruses.

Check archives – this option allows to enable/disable the archives scanning.

On the Scanning optimization options section, specify the limitations for the scanning time and scanned objects characteristics:

Scan timeoutthis option allows to specify the maximum time for scanning of an object (in milliseconds). By default the scan time is unlimited.

Max archive file sizethis parameter defines the maximum size (in kilobytes) of an archive to scan. By default, the archive file size is no limited.

Max archive nesting level – this parameter defines the maximum number of nesting levels in an archive. The values from 0 to 16 are possible. By default, the archive nesting level is not limited.

If the corresponding parameters of a checked object exceed the values specified by the Scan timeout, Max archive size and Max archive nesting level parameters, the actions defined by the Not checked parameter will be performed for such object.

Besides, you can configure the program logging on the Logging section. Logging to Windows Event log and/or to the plug-in debug log can be selected.
