      2. In Archive Scan Level, set the scan level. You can set the level for scanning in an archive file. The default scan level is 2. Increasing the default scan level may affect the scanning speed.
      3. To remove an infected file from your system follow these steps in the Select action tab:
        • If an infected file is found in an archived folder on your system, select whether you want to delete, quarantine, or skip the file.
