If any viruses or computer threats of other types are detected during scanning, Dr.Web Scanner informs you about them and recommends the most effective actions to neutralize them. You can neutralize all detected threats at once. To do this, select all threats and click Neutralize. In this case, Dr.Web Scanner applies the most effective actions according to its configuration and threat type.

By clicking Neutralize, you apply actions to the objects selected in the table. You should select objects or groups of objects manually to set an action applied by clicking Neutralize. To select a group of objects, you can use CTRL and SHIFT keys. To select actions for neutralizing threats, right-click one or several selected objects and choose an option from the context menu. |
