Normal | Includes viruses currently spreading as determined by the FortiGuard Global Security Research Team. These viruses are the greatest threat. The Normal database is the default selection and it is available on every FortiGate unit. | |
Extended | Includes the normal database in addition to recent viruses that are no-longer active. These viruses may have been spreading within the last year but have since nearly or completely disappeared. | |
Extreme | Includes the extended database in addition to a large collection of ‘zoo’ viruses. These are viruses that have not spread in a long time and are largely dormant today. Some zoo viruses may rely on operating systems and hardware that are no longer widely used. |
