If you select the Save 'Paused' state between sessions check box, then SpIDer Guard will remain in 'Paused' state after a system restart if the monitoring was paused in the current session (see description of the SpIDer Guard's context menu).

In the Troubleshooting group box you can select the Do not scan objects in local network to prevent excessive usage of the system's computational resources when scanning network drives.

If the Do not scan objects on removable drives check box is selected, then SpIDer Guard will not scan objects on CD-ROMs, DVDs, flash cards, etc.

 

Some external data carriers (e.g. removable hard drives with USB interface) are recognized by the system as fixed HDDs. Such devices should be used with extra caution and scanned for viruses when connected to a computer.
