Auto-Protect scans files for viruses, worms, and Trojan horses when you perform an action with them, such as moving them, copying them, or opening them.
It also scans for spyware, adware, and other security risks.
If Auto-Protect detects suspicious activity, it logs a notification in Security History that tells you that a risk was found and resolved.
If Auto-Protect detect one or more viruses it either repairs or deletes the viruses and notifies you. The notification tells you which file was repaired or deleted and which virus, Trojan horse, or worm infected the file. No further action is necessary.
