Definition
Anytime a file is retrieved or modify in any way – either it's
opened, saved or moved -- Auto-Protect simply scans the file to make sure that
no malware has devoted itself. This allows for improved protection between full
virus scans and catches infections earlier.
Types
The auto-protect feature is developed by four types
of protection. The first one is for the file system, which aspects for changes
in the files themselves as you run or changes the files. Another is the Internet, where Auto-Protect scans all emails.
Mitigation
Auto-Protect gives you
four ways to deal with it when it encounters an infected file: cleaning,
quarantine, deletion or leave alone. Cleaning is an option that gets used when
you want to save the infected-ridden file but delete the malware threat.
Quarantine is used for infected files to prevent their completing. Infected
files can also be deleted
Considerations
Symantec cautions that full scans can use up a lot of
computer resources and can affect the performance of the computer. Since
Auto-Protect is typically scanning only one file. On, Auto-Protect doesn’t replace the full scan.
