When scanning your computer, you can choose from these additional options:
- Scan archive files—Scanning these
files might increase the time required to complete a scan, but
malicious software, including viruses, spyware, and other
potentially unwanted software, can install itself and attempt to
"hide" in these files.
- Scan removable drives—Use this option
to scan the contents of removable drives, such as USB flash
drives.
- Create a system restore point before
applying actions to detected items—System restore helps you
restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time.
It's a way to undo system changes to your computer without
affecting your personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or
photos. These restore points contain information about registry
settings and other system information that Windows uses. When you
select this option, Forefront Endpoint Protection creates a system
restore point on your computer on a daily basis before cleaning
your computer. This option allows you to restore software that you
didn't intend to remove.
