As long as your settings are set to "auto-protect" then yes, you will be protected. I would advise you to open NAV, find the Options and have a good look around. I am not familiar with your version, but there should be settings which you can enable or disable for various options. I have mine set to load auto-protect at Startup and to scan program files at this time. It will also scan program files whenever a file is run, opened, copied, moved, created or downloaded. I don't have it set to scan my emails because it is covered by the previously mentioned options. I also save email attachments to my desktop and manually scan them before opening them - as long as I think they are legitimate. If I don't think they are, they immediately get deleted. As I say, have a good look around your program as it will help you to understand it a bit more. You can also press F1 in NAV for help on any item. |
