Actions on files

When known malware has been identified This field contains two options. By selecting “Block”, the analyzed file will not be sent. By selecting "Allow", the file will be sent in its original form.
When sandboxing fails This option defines the behavior of the sandboxing option if the file scan fails:
  • If Block is specified, the file being scanned will not be sent.
  • If Pass without scanning is specified, the file being scanned will be sent.
