By default, the scanning of archives is disabled. Enabling archive scanning may impact system performance and increase power consumption. Disabling archive scanning does not decrease the protection level because Dr.Web Scanner checks APK installation files even if the Files in archives check box is not selected.

To monitor changes in the system area, select the System area and Any files in system area check boxes. If the setting is enabled, the component monitors changes (addition, modification, and deletion of files) and notifies only on deletion of any files as well as addition and modification of executable files: .jar, .odex, .so, APK, ELF files, etc.

To enable/disable detection of files that might threaten your device, select the corresponding check boxes:

Suspicious objects,

Adware,

Dialer programs,

Joke programs,

Riskware,

Hacktool programs,

Exploitable software.
