Actions

On the Actions page, you can select actions to apply to the threats detected by Dr.Web Scanner, depending on their type.

•Cure, move to quarantine if not cured. Instructs to restore the original state of the object before infection. If the object is incurable, or the attempt of curing fails, this object is moved to quarantine. The action is available only for the objects with a known threat that can be cured except for the Trojan programs and files within complex objects.

•Cure, delete if not cured. Instructs to restore the original state of the object before infection. If the object is incurable, or the attempt of curing fails, this object is deleted. The action is available only for the objects with a known threat that can be cured except for the Trojan programs and files within complex objects.

•Move to quarantine. This action moves a detected threat to a special folder that is isolated from the rest of the system.

•Delete. It is the most effective way to remove all types of threats. This action implies full deletion of a dangerous object.

•Ignore. No actions are applied to the object. Notifications are not displayed.

The default settings are optimal for most cases. Do not change them unnecessarily.
