Additional Threats–additional threats include: Spyware, Dialers, Hacking Tools, Password Cracking Applications, Adware, Joke Programs, Remote Access Tools, and Others. The default action for additional threats is Quarantine. For more information about these kinds of threats, see the Trend Micro Web site for security information at http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/.

Encrypted or password protected files–PortalProtect does not scan these type of files. Instead, PortalProtect takes action to prevent these types of files from threatening your SharePoint server. The action it takes depends on the actions you have configured. The default action is Pass. Other options include: Quarantine, Delete, and Rename.
