In addition, you can configure global settings (see 15.4.8 on pg. 216) for running
all tasks.
The following sections examine the task settings listed above in detail.
15.4.1. Selecting a security level
Each virus scan task can be assigned a security level (see Figure 76):
Maximum Protection – the most complete scan of the entire computer or
individual disks, folders, or files. You are advised to use this level if you
suspect that a virus has infected your computer.
Recommended – Kaspersky Lab experts recommend this level. The same files
will be scanned as for the Maximum Protection setting, except for email
databases.
High Speed – level with settings that let you comfortably use resource-intensive
applications, since the scope of files scanned is reduced.
Figure 76. Selecting a virus scan security level
By default, the File Anti-Virus security level is set to Recommended.
You can raise or lower the scan security level by selecting the level you want or
changing the settings for the current level.
To edit the security level:
Adjust the sliders. By adjusting the security level, you define the ratio of
scan speed to the total number of files scanned: the fewer files are
scanned for viruses, the higher the scan speed.
If none of the file security levels listed meet your needs, you can customize the
protection settings. It is recommended that you select a level closest to your
requirements as basis and edit its parameters. This will change the name of the
security level to Custom.
To modify the settings for a security level:
1. Open application settings window and select a scan task under Scan.
