Advanced Antimalware

This engine uses an enhanced database of virus signatures to improve the efficiency of antimalware detection in both quick and full scans.

This feature is available only if you have the Advanced Security protection pack enabled. For more information, see https://www.acronis.com/en-us/products/cloud/cyber-protect/security/
The availability of this feature depends on the service quotas that are enabled for your account.

To configure Advanced Antimalware

  1. In the Create protection plan window, expand the Antivirus & Antimalware protection module.
  2. In the Advanced Antimalware section, use the toggle to enable the local signature-based engine.
Antivirus and Antimalware protection for macOS and Linux also requires the local signature-based engine. For Windows, Antivirus and Antimalware protection is available with or without this engine.
