A

Item	Description
Advanced Virus Protection	Select additional protection features for the virus and spyware
Settings	protection service. If none of these features are selected, the service
	still detects viruses.
	„ Enable outbreak response: Check for an outbreak detection
	definition (DAT) file every hour.
	„ Enable buffer overflow protection: Detect code starting to run
	from data in reserved memory and prevent that code from
	running. The virus and spyware protection service protects
	against buffer overflow in more than 30 most commonly used
	Windows-based programs. SonicWALL updates this list as it
	adds buffer overflow protection for additional programs.
	Important: Buffer overflow protection does not stop data from
	being written. Do not rely on the exploited application remaining
	stable after being compromised, even if buffer overflow
	protection stops the corrupted code from running.
	„ Enable script scanning: Detect harmful code embedded in web
	pages that would cause unauthorized programs to run on client
	computers.
	„ Scan email (before delivering to the Outlook Inbox): Look for
	threats in email before it is placed into the user’s Inbox.
	„ Scan all file types during on-access scans: Inspect all types of
	files, instead of only default types, when they are downloaded,
	opened, or run. (Default file types are defined in the dat files.)
	„ Scan within archives during on-access scans (e.g., .zip, .rar,
	.tat, .tgz ): Look for threats in compressed archive files when the
	files are accessed.
	„ Scan within archives during on-demand scans (e.g., .zip, .rar,
	.tat, .tgz ): Look for threats in compressed archive files when
	they are scanned manually.
Check for updates every	Select how often client computers should check for updates.
