SmartScan scans a specific, configurable group of file extensions that contain executable code and all .exe and .doc files. SmartScan reads each file's header to determine its file type. It scans .exe and .doc files even if the file extensions for the .exe and .doc files are changed by a virus to extensions that are different from the file extensions that SmartScan has been configured to scan. SmartScan is enabled by default. Configuring Advanced Auto-Protect options When you configure Advanced Auto-Protect options, you can define the following: ■ When to start Auto-Protect ■ When to reload Auto-Protect when a reload is necessary ■ When to scan files with Auto-Protect ■ How many entries to cache in an index of clean files ■ How long to wait before enabling Auto-Protect when it is disabled ■ Whether Auto-Protect backs up files before it attempts to repair them
