submitted to McAfee Labs to determine if they are malware. The benefit to you is that
detection may be made available as soon as McAfee Labs publishes the update, and
you would not have to wait for the next DAT release. The higher the sensitivity level
you choose, the higher the number of malware detections. However, by allowing more
detections, you may also get more false positive results. Choose from these sensitivity
levels:
• Disabled — No fingerprints or any data are submitted to McAfee Labs to
determine if they malware.
• Very Low —The detections and risk of false positives are the same as with
regular DATs. A detection is made available to VirusScan Enterprise when McAfee
Labs publishes it instead of waiting for the next DAT update.
• Low — This level is defined as between Very Low and Medium.
• Medium — Use this level when the regular risk of exposure to malware is greater
than the risk of a false positive. McAfee Labs proprietary, heuristic checks results
in detections that are likely to be malware. However, there is some risk that a
detection on a file that isn’t common may result in a false positive. McAfee Labs
checks that detections with this setting will not create a false positive on popular
applications and operating system files.
• High — This level is defined as between Medium and Very High.
• Very High —We recommend using this level only for email and for scanning
volumes and directories that support neither executing programs nor operating
systems. Detections found with this level are presumed to be malicious, but they
haven’t been fully tested to confirm that they are not false positives.
