Anyone who moves a lot on the Internet and his System some risks, you should decide. The "Instelligente file selection" speeds up the Scan, can be overlooked in case of emergency, but also viruses.

Tip 2: A Real-Time Scanner
Under the System Scanner you'll find the "real time Scanner":
- Files: Here you should use the "file extension list". Thus, not only the potentially dangerous files are scanned. Since the Scanner is always running in the Background, he works very slowly. Select "All files", need Avira several hours to scan the whole System.
- Drives: Option "monitor network drives" you should only activate if you have included such a and the files are not completely secure.
