On-Run Protection: Real-Time Threat Detection

The On-Run Protection feature provides real-time security by monitoring executable files as they launch on your system. When you attempt to run a file that Gridinsoft Anti-Malware identifies as potentially malicious, the program immediately blocks the execution and alerts you, preventing potential damage to your computer.

How On-Run Protection Works

This security feature is automatically enabled when you install Gridinsoft Anti-Malware, providing continuous background protection without impacting your system performance. The feature operates by:

• Continuously monitoring all executable file launches
• Scanning files in real-time using Gridinsoft’s threat database
• Immediately blocking suspicious or malicious files
• Providing instant alerts with action options

Accessing On-Run Protection

You can view and manage the On-Run Protection feature through the “Protect” tab in the Gridinsoft Anti-Malware interface. Once you launch the application, this protection feature activates immediately and runs continuously in the background, safeguarding your system from malicious applications.

Threat Detection Alerts

When On-Run Protection detects a potential threat, you’ll receive an immediate notification displaying the detected malicious files. This alert provides you with several response options to handle the situation appropriately.

Available Response Actions

When a threat is detected, you have several options to choose from based on your assessment of the situation:

• Ignore Once: Allows the file to run this time only, without adding it to any permanent lists
• Delete: Permanently removes the detected threat from your system
• Move to Quarantine: Isolates the file in a secure location where it cannot cause harm
• Ignore Always: Adds the file to your trusted list, allowing it to run without future alerts

Blocking Malicious Processes

When a malicious process attempts to launch, On-Run Protection immediately intervenes with a blocking notification. This prevents the threat from executing and potentially compromising your system security.

Making Permanent Decisions

For consistent threat management, you can make permanent decisions about detected files:

• Block Always: Permanently quarantines the threat and prevents all future execution attempts
• Ignore Always: Adds the file to your ignore list, treating it as a trusted application for all future encounters
