Now move the slider to select what risk level of executables you want 

to let through: 

  High  Security:  Quarantines  almost  all  executables.    If  the 

executable contains any signature it will get quarantined. 

  Medium  Security:  Quarantines  suspicious  executables.    If  the 

executable contains 1 high risk signature or a combination of high 

risk and low risk signatures it will get quarantined. 

  Low  Security:  Quarantines  executables  which  are  most  probably 

malicious.  If the executable contains at least 1 high risk signature 

it will get quarantined. 

Skip attachment checking 

If  an  executable  is  quarantined  because  of  its  risk  level,  the 

administrator  must  approve  or  reject  the  executable.  You  can 

configure  GFI  MailSecurity  to  then  bypass  the  attachment  checking 

module, in order to avoid the file being quarantined again. To do this, 

tick the check box next to `Skip Attachment checking if the executable 

is approved'
