There are three preset security levels in Active Shield: Low, Medium and High. However, if you are an experienced user, you may want to select your own custom set of security options. To do it click on Customize Shield button in the main window. Now select Custom security level in appeared dialog and on the right you'll see a set of checkboxes. These checkboxes control security options. Check necessary boxes and click OK. Custom security level is now applied.

Here are options that you can choose:

System folders - if checked, Active Shield will guard system folders and warn about any changes inside them (copy, creating or deletion of files).
