Safe Mode Protection
If you run Windows in Safe Mode, your computer starts with only basic files and drivers and the security features of Quick Heal Internet Security Essentials are disabled by default. In such a situation, unauthorized users may take advantage and steal data or modify the settings of the Quick Heal Internet Security Essentials features.
To prevent access to your system by any unauthorized users, you can configure Safe Mode Protection. Once you configure it, you need to provide a password to work in Safe Mode.
