If you only wish to scan a certain part of your disk, click

Custom scan and select targets to be scanned for

viruses.

As a general example of how infiltrations are handled in

ESET NOD32 Antivirus, suppose that an infiltration is

detected by the real-time file system monitor, which

uses the Default cleaning level. It will attempt to clean or

delete the file. If there is no predefined action to take for

the real-time protection module, you will be asked to

select an option in an alert window. Usually, the options

Clean, Delete and No action are available. Selecting No

action is not recommended, since the infected file(s)

would be left untouched. An exception to this is when

you are sure that the file is harmless and has been

detected by mistake.

Cleaning and deleting – Apply cleaning if a file has been

attacked by a virus that has attached malicious code to

it. If this is the case, first attempt to clean the infected file

in order to restore it to its original state. If the file

consists exclusively of malicious code, it will be deleted.

Deleting files in archives – In the Default cleaning

mode, the entire archive will be deleted only if it contains

infected files and no clean files. In other words, archives

are not deleted if they also contain harmless clean files.

However, use caution when performing a Strict

cleaning scan – with Strict cleaning the archive will be

deleted if it contains at least one infected file, regardless

of the status of other files in the archive.

4.2 Updating the program

Regular updates of ESET NOD32 Antivirus are necessary

to maintain the maximum level of security. The Update

module ensures that the program is always up to date

by updating the virus signature database.

By clicking Update from the main menu, you can find

the current update status, including the date and time of

the last successful update and if an update is needed.

The primary window also contains the virus signature

database version. This numeric indicator is an active link

to ESET’s website, listing all signatures added during the

given update.

In addition, the option to manually begin the update

process – Update virus signature database – is

available, as well as basic setup options such as the

username and password used to access ESET’s update

servers.

NOTE: Your username and password are provided by

ESET after purchasing ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

4.2.1 Update setup

The update setup section specifies update source

information such as the update servers and

authentication data for these servers. By default, the

Update server drop-down menu is set to Choose

automatically to ensure that update files will

automatically download from the ESET server with the

least network traffic.

The list of available update servers is accessible via the

Update server drop-down menu. To add a new update

server, click Edit... Then enter the address of the new

server in the Update Server input field and click the Add

button. Authentication for update servers is based on

the Username and Password generated and sent to you

after purchase.

To enable the use of test mode (downloads pre-release

updates) click the Setup... button next to Advanced

Options, select the Enable pre-release updates

checkbox in the dialog and confirm by pressing OK.

To delete all temporarily stored update data, click the

Clear button next to Clear update cache. Use this

option if you are experiencing difficulty while updating.
