About virus scan actions
What happens when PC-cillin detects a virus? It depends on the action that is configured in the Settings window. For both Manual Scan and Real-time Scan, you can set actions PC-cillin executes when it detects a virus. You can also set actions PC-cillin will perform, if for some reason, PC-cillin is unable to clean a virus. Any action PC-cillin takes is recorded as a log entry in the Virus log.
For a Real-time Scan, these virus scan actions include the following:
Deny Access- Deny the user access to the infected file.
Rename- Modify the file's extension to prevent opening or execution.
Quarantine- Move infected or malicious files to a restricted access folder.
Clean- Remove virus code from infected files.
Delete- Remove the infected or malicious files (e.g., Trojans, worms, etc.).
For a Manual Scan, all the virus actions are the same as a Real-time Scan with the exception of Deny Access. Instead the Manual Scan action is: Pass - Record virus infection or malicious files in the Virus log but take no action.
