Scan Options

By configuring the Scan Options, you determine what items are going to be scanned. The Scan options are organized using categories supported by ParetoLogic Privacy Controls. ParetoLogic is dedicated to expanding this list of category support. The category list will be updated periodically and offered to you as a free update providing you have registered the product. For more information on updates, see About Page.

ParetoLogic Privacy Controls uses a database of definitions (items that can be scanned) that are organized by categories. From time-to-time this database is updated to broaden the range of support offered.

Within each category is a list of applications and the items that can be scanned and removed. By selecting the items you want, you can control what is scanned. This will determine how long the scan takes and how thorough it will be.

Viewing and Selecting Items

You can view the Scan Options, customize the options, and restore the default settings. You can begin by viewing the items that are to be scanned and removed.

To view the Scan Options, do the following:

In the Main window, click the Options link.

You can select only the items that you want to have scanned and removed.

To select items to scan, do the following:

1. Click the More Info link next to a category name.
2. Click a plus sign (+) to further expand a sub-category.
3. Select the associated check box next to the category item.

You can clear any individual item or you can clear a top-level category so that all the items within the category are disabled (not selected).

To clear a top-level category:

Clear the check box associated with the top-level category.

Note: When you select a check box that you have previously cleared, the last settings are retained. You will need to use the restore default option to return to the original settings.

Restore Default Settings

You can restore the original program settings. By restoring the settings you return the Scan Options to those provided by ParetoLogic Privacy Controls. This also results in warning messages being displayed again if you had them turned off previously using the: "Do not display this message again" check box.

To restore the default settings, do the following:

1. In the Main window, click the Options link.
2. Click the Restore Defaults button.
