SCANNING FOR VIRUSES

In addition to the computer protection (see section "Anti-virus protection of your computer's file system" on page 30)

provided by the File Anti-Virus, it is critical to periodically scan the computer for viruses. This is required to stop the

spread of malicious programs not detected by File Anti-Virus, because, for instance, a low protection level has been

selected.

The following tasks are executed by Kaspersky Anti-Virus to perform virus scans:

 Virus Scan

Scan individual items for viruses, such as files, folders, disks, plug-and-play devices.

 Full Scan

Search for viruses on your computer with a thorough scan of all disk drives.

 Quick Scan

Scans only critical areas of the computer for viruses, including folders with operating system files (/System) and

system libraries (/Library).

By default, these tasks are executed using recommended settings. You can edit these settings (see section "Configuring

virus scan tasks" on page 48), or create a schedule for running tasks (see section "Configuring the scan task schedule"

on page 54). You also have the option of creating users virus scan tasks (see section "Creating virus scan tasks" on

page 46).
