In this tab the e-mail scan mode is set.
In this group, you can select the following options for e-mail scans. It is recommended to keep these settings:
◆The Heuristic analysis flag instructs SpIDer Mail to use heuristic analysis when scanning e-mail which allows detecting suspicious objects , i.e. infected with viruses that are yet unknown, with high probability. This options enabled by default. To detect known threats only, disable this option.
◆The Check archives flag instructs SpIDer Mail to check contents of archives in mail. This option is enabled by default. To accelerate SpIDer Mail, clear the Check archives flag to disable this option.
|
When SpIDer Guard is enabled constantly, this default setting does not compromise security of your computer. If a file within an archive is infected, the malicious object will be detected and neutralized by SpIDer Guard immediately when you try to extract archived files. Including archives into constant scans may considerably reduce computer performance. |
◆The Virus activity control flag instructs SpIDer Mail to detect peculiar signs of mass distribution of viruses via e-mail. When operating in this mode, SpIDer Mail may block your attempts at sending messages to several addresses. In such case, disable this option. This option is enabled by default.
You can specify spam-check of your e-mail on this tab:
◆The Check for spam flag enables spam-filtering of incoming messages.
|
It is possible to configure the spam filter only if the Dr.Web application is licensed to work in the "Antivirus + Anti-spam" mode (authorized by the key file). |
The Spam filter settings can be set in the SpIDer Mail Spam Settings window. Click Advanced to open this window.
The mail guard detects, apart from messages with infected objects, messages containing other types of unsolicited programs:
◆Adware,
◆Dialers,
◆Riskware,
◆Hacktools,
◆Jokes.
To change the set of the unsolicited programs to be detected, set flags against the types of unsolicited programs you want to be detected, and clear flags against the types of programs you do not want to be detected.
By default, the SpIDer Mail is prescribed to detect Adware and Dialers only.
|
The mail guard reaction to detection of unsolicited programs is similar to the reaction to detection of infected messages, specified in the Actions tab. |
The Load at startup flag is set by default. The program automatically starts at every Windows OS startup. You can clear this flag, in this case the program can be started manually.
To set e-mail check additional parameters, click Advanced in the lower right corner of the window.
