2 quick questions:
1) Do heuristics/advanced heuristics play into on demand scanning or do the OD scans only work off of the virus signature.
2) Also, under the advanced setup tree when you go to the top/first option of "Anti-virus and Antispyware --> automatic startup file check/threatsense engine parameter setup", if for example, I enable the advanced heuristics (or anything for that matter) here, will those be "active" if they are not checked under the "real-time file system protection and its threatsense engine parameter setup" and "additional threatsense parameters for newly created or modified files", as these options are within/under the Anti-virus and Antispyware setup in the advanced options tree?
Sorry if this is confusing, I can try to clarify my question if needed. Thanks for any replies in advance. I just want to know how that works because I have read here in the forums that advanced heuristics and runtime packers should be left off, although I see no difference in performance with them on.
