Performance

In the Performance section, you can specify the size of the scanned files list, saved in memory cache.

Move the slider to select the size of the list.

Unless changed, files in this list will not be scanned again. By default, the parameter value is set to 100, which corresponds to approximately 9 KB of required memory per each logical drive. If the system has enough available memory, it is worthwhile increasing the parameter value to 500-1000. The parameter is applicable to the Run and open files check mode and to the Smart mode, when files on network drives and removable media are scanned.

Miscellaneous

In the Miscellaneous section, the following settings are available:

◆Set the Show SpIDer Guard icon in the notification area flag to display the SpIDer Guard icon in Windows OS Taskbar notification area  (An element of the Microsoft Windows Desktop that displays the icons of active applications and is located in the right part of the taskbar, which by default is positioned in the bottom of the desktop).

◆Set the Save 'Paused' state between sessions flag to save paused state after a system restart if the monitoring was paused in the current session.

Troubleshooting

In the Troubleshooting section, the following settings are available:

◆Set the Do not scan objects on local network flag to scan files on network drives only when these files are launched from network drives.

If the Do not scan objects on local network flag is cleared, SpIDer Guard scans files from network drives when these files are launched for execution and in any cases of opening files including read-only files.

◆Set the Do not scan objects on removable drives (Floppy, CDROM, etc.) flag to scan files on removable storages only when these files are launched.

If the Do not scan objects on removable drives (Floppy, CDROM, etc.) flag is cleared, SpIDer Guard scans files on removable storages (CD and DVD disks, floppy disks (FDD), flash drives and other data carriers connectible through USB and etc.) in any cases of access to these files including opening read-only files.
