This policy setting allows you to configure reparse point scanning. If you allow reparse points to be scanned there is a possible risk of recursion. However the engine supports following reparse points to a maximum depth so at worst scanning could be slowed. Reparse point scanning is disabled by default and this is the recommended state for this functionality. If you enable this setting reparse point scanning will be enabled. If you disable or do not configure this setting reparse point scanning will be disabled.

This policy setting allows you to create a system restore point on the computer on a daily basis prior to cleaning. If you enable this setting a system restore point will be created. If you disable or do not configure this setting a system restore point will not be created.

This policy setting allows you to configure scanning mapped network drives. If you enable this setting mapped network drives will be scanned. If you disable or do not configure this setting mapped network drives will not be scanned.

This policy setting allows you to configure scanning for network files. It is recommended that you do not enable this setting. If you enable this setting network files will be scanned. If you disable or do not configure this setting network files will not be scanned.

This policy setting allows you to configure e-mail scanning. When e-mail scanning is enabled the engine will parse the mailbox and mail files according to their specific format in order to analyze the mail bodies and attachments. Several e-mail formats are currently supported for example: pst (Outlook) dbx mbx mime (Outlook Express) binhex (Mac). If you enable this setting e-mail scanning will be enabled. If you disable or do not configure this setting e-mail scanning will be disabled.

This policy setting allows you to configure heuristics. Suspicious detections will be suppressed right before reporting to the engine client. Turning off heuristics will reduce the capability to flag new threats. It is recommended that you do not turn off heuristics. If you enable or do not configure this setting heuristics will be enabled. If you disable this setting heuristics will be disabled.

This policy setting allows you to configure scanning for packed executables. It is recommended that this type of scanning remain enabled. If you enable or do not configure this setting packed executables will be scanned. If you disable this setting packed executables will not be scanned.

This policy configures Windows software trace preprocessor (WPP Software Tracing) components.

This policy allows you to configure tracing levels for Windows software trace preprocessor (WPP Software Tracing). Tracing levels are defined as:1 – Error2 – Warning3 – Info4 – Debug

This policy setting allows you to manage whether or not end users can pause a scan in progress. If you enable or do not configure this setting a new context menu will be added to the task tray icon to allow the user to pause a scan. If you disable this setting users will not be able to pause scans.
