4. Action 5. Threat Information Link

Figure 3 - Scan Result

Select the threats which you want to clean then click on clean button. Max Secure Anti Virus will clean all the selected threats.



Scan Options Max Secure Anti Virus provides three types of scans:

Quick Scan will scan for the current operating system only. Full Scan will scan your complete PC including the operating system, program files as well as

your files and documents. If your PC has more than one hard drive on it, you can select which hard drive you would like to scan in the Full Scan option. This is done by checking the appropriate checkbox before the hard drive letter (e.g. C :) in the Full Scan window. Rootkit: Rootkit Scan is based on generic, heuristics scan. A rootkit is a set of software tools intended to hide running processes, files or system data from the operating system. A rootkit substitutes malicious code in place of legitimate Operating System routines. It does so in a highly stealth-like manner by turning off certain security routines. They are difficult to detect. Rootkits are difficult to clean as they in granulate deeply within the Registry and system files. Deep: Deep Scan option does special threat scan throughout the drive so that Max Secure Anti Virus catches more special threat entries. It takes more time in first scan but subsequent scan will take less time to scan special threat on the drive.

Custom Scan will scan only the selected locations by the user.

Please Note: When you are running the full scan for the first time the application maps the signatures first and so takes long time for scanning the PC for the first time, also it depends on the processor speed of the PC and the total Hard Drive space that you have. But if you try to do the full scan second time it will not take so long.

engines in the system. These version numbers are updated every time you run Live Update and the corresponding engines are updated. This section also displays the last date when Live Update was run.



USB Manager

Scan Setting Scan Removable Devices: Checking this option will scan removable devices which user attached to the PC. Manual: On selecting this option, any time a removable device is attached to the PC, a popup window will open with options - Scan and Cancel. Clicking on Scan would scan the removable devices only. Auto: On checking this option, any time a removable device is attached to the PC; Max Secure Anti Virus will start scanning. This will only scan the removable devices.

USB Secure Autorun.inf Block: The Auto Run function in Windows can launch installers and other programs automatically when you insert a CD or flash drive, but this convenience poses a serious security risk. Every recent version of Windows has features known as AutoPlay and AutoRun. These functions are designed to launch applications automatically from an external device containing the necessary AutoRun information. This is what causes an installer window to pop up when you insert a software disc into your CD or DVD drive, for example, or makes a pop-up menu icon appear in the taskbar tray when you insert a USB flash drive.

However convenient this might be, unfortunately, AutoRun also opens a huge door for viruses, Trojan horses, and worms. All it takes is a USB flash drive with an autorun.inf file and an executable in its root. Once inserted, a worm launched in this manner can infect every disk partition it finds, jumping from computer to computer as network users connect to an infected drive.

USB Manager allows you to block autorun automatically so that you have control over when contents of USB drive run on your PC or not.



Figure 7- USB Manager User Interface

Total Block: This is a very useful feature. These days data protection is very important where anyone can connect USB to your PC or company PC and download all the information on the drive and take away. This unauthorized access is now manageable using a password. This feature can totally secure your PC from unwanted programs running on your PC from USB device.

Password Protection: When you set the password in Password Protection section then as soon as you attach a removable device to the PC; it will ask for password to open Removable Device Scan window.



Firewall

A firewall is a piece of software or hardware that helps screen out hackers, viruses, and worms that try to reach your computer over the Internet. If you are a home user or a business user, using a firewall is the most effective and important first step you can take to help protect your computer.

Max Secure Firewall provides a robust way to effectively filter network traffic, prevent malicious behavior, protect running processes and filter web content. It provides filtering of I/O requests at the kernel and user levels. Max Secure Firewall is one of the best defenses against malicious software attacks on your system.

Network Filter The network filter is an IP Based rule which helps in restricting any application to connect to a remote machine. Here you can specify a range of IP Address along with the port that should be blocked or allowed. The following example shows where you want the client to be allowed full access to the Local Intranet inbound and outbound.
