When scanning Default + additional file types, the scanner examines a list of specific files
based on the file types you select.
Default file types: The on-access scanner examines the specified file type only for threats
that attack that file type.
Additional file types: The on-access scanner examines the files with matching extensions
for all possible threats.
Specified files types: The on-access scanner examines the user defined list of file extensions
for all possible threats.

Script scanning and how it works

The script scanner operates as a proxy component to the real Windows scripting host component.
It intercepts scripts, then scans them before they are executed.
For example, the script scanner confirms:
If the script is clean, it is passed on to the real scripting host component.
If the script contains a potential threat, the script is not executed.
Trusted processes and also websites that utilize scripts can be excluded from inspection.
NOTE: On Windows Server 2008 systems, Script Scan URL exclusions do not work with Windows
Internet Explorer unless you click the checkbox Enable third-party browser extensions to
enable the setting and restart Windows Server 2008. For details, see

How Artemis works

The Artemis feature uses heuristics to check for suspicious files. It provides users with
Windows-based McAfee anti-virus products that have the most up-to-date real-time detections
for certain malware.
Artemis does not provide protection for entire classes of malware; just for suspicious samples.
The benefit of protecting against specific threats is the capability to protect users with McAfee
security at virtually the same time that McAfee Labs determines a sample is malicious.
You can configure the administrator-configured sensitivity levels Artemis uses to look for
suspicious programs and DLLs running on client systems protected by VirusScan Enterprise.
When Artemis detects a suspicious program, it sends a DNS request containing a fingerprint of
the suspicious file to a central database server hosted by McAfee Labs.
NOTE: In this release, the Artemis feature is enabled by default, with the sensitivity level set
to very low.
