Scan compressed files, such as .zip files. Enter the maximum size of file to scan. The default size limit is 0, which means no limit.

FortiClient software uses heuristic techniques to scan files to find unknown viruses and threats that have not yet been cataloged with signatures. Heuristics looks at characteristics of a file, such as size or architecture, as well as behaviors of its code to determine the likelihood of an infection.

If you only want to scan for active viruses, select the check box. The core signature database is comprised of viruses that are currently active. This option will take lesser time to scan your computer because of the smaller database. The core signature database does not require a license and is updated frequently.

Select the check box if you want to do antivirus scans using the full antivirus database. The extended signature database is comprised of the full antivirus database. Using this option will take a longer time to scan your computer. The extended signature database requires a premium license and is updated less frequently.
