Changing the action taken on infected files by the File Threat Protection component

By default, the File Threat Protection component automatically tries to disinfect all infected files that are detected. If disinfection fails, the File Threat Protection component deletes these files.

To change the action taken on infected files by the File Threat Protection component:

1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Essential Threat Protection section, select File Threat Protection.

   The settings of the File Threat Protection component are displayed in the right part of the window.

3. In the Action on threat detection section, select the required option:
   • Disinfect, delete if disinfection fails.

     If this option is selected, the File Threat Protection component automatically attempts to disinfect all infected files that are detected. If disinfection fails, the File Threat Protection component deletes these files.

   • Disinfect, block if disinfection fails.

     If this option is selected, the File Threat Protection component automatically attempts to disinfect all infected files that are detected. If disinfection fails, the File Threat Protection component blocks these files.

   • Block.

     If this option is selected, the File Threat Protection component automatically blocks all infected files without attempting to disinfect them.

4. To save changes, click the Save button.
