Scan archives
If this option is enabled, then archives will be scanned. Compressed files are scanned,
then decompressed and scanned again. This option is deactivated by default. The archive
scan is restricted by the recursion depth, the number of files to be scanned and the
archive size. You can set the maximum recursion depth, the number of files to be
scanned and the maximum archive size.
Note
This option is deactivated by default, since the process puts heavy demands on the
computer's performance. It is generally recommended that archives be checked using an
on-demand scan.
Maximum recursion depth
When scanning archives, the Guard uses a recursive scan: Archives in archives are also
unpacked and scanned for viruses and unwanted programs. You can define the recursion
depth. The default value for the recursion depth is 1 and is recommended: all archives
that are directly located in the main archive are unpacked and scanned.
Maximum number of files
When scanning archives, you can restrict the scan to a maximum number of files in the
archive. The default value for the maximum number of files to be scanned is 10 and is
recommended.
Maximum size (KB)
When scanning archives, you can restrict the scan to a maximum archive size to be
unpacked. The standard value of 1000KB is recommended.

Automatic
If this option is enabled, then no dialog box for selecting an action appears following the
detection of a virus or unwanted program. Guard reacts according to the settings you
define in this section.
Backup to quarantine
If this option is enabled, the Guard creates a backup copy before carrying out the
requested primary or secondary action. The backup copy is saved in quarantine. It can be
restored via the Quarantine manager if it is of informative value. You can also send the
backup copy to the Avira Malware Research Center. Depending on the object, there are
more selection possibilities in the Quarantine manager.
