Action on threat detection

You can select the action that the application performs on a detected infected object:
- Disinfect; delete if disinfection is not possible. If you select this action, the application attempts to disinfect the infected object by saving a copy of the object in Backup. If disinfection is not possible (for example, if the type of object or the type of threat in the object cannot be disinfected), then the application deletes the infected object.
- Disinfect; skip if disinfection is not possible. If you select this action, the application attempts to disinfect the infected object by saving a copy of the object in Backup. If disinfection is not possible (for example, if the type of object or type of threat in the object cannot be disinfected), the application does not attempt to disinfect or delete the infected object.
- Skip. When you select this action, the application does not attempt to disinfect or delete the infected object (default value).
