6.3. Running Application on a
Portable Computer
Virus scan tasks may be postponed to save battery on a portable computer.
Since scanning a computer for viruses and updating the program frequently
requires significant resources and time, we recommend that such tasks be
scheduled. This will allow you to save battery life. You will be able to update the
application (see Section 5.7, p. 59) or run a virus scan (see Section 5.3, p. 56)
manually, as needed. To save battery life, open the application settings window,
select Protection, and check Disable scheduled scans while running on
battery power under Additional (cf. Figure 6).
6.4. Runtime Computer Performance
To limit CPU and storage subsystem loads, virus scan tasks may be postponed.
Scanning for viruses increases CPU and storage subsystem loads thereby
slowing other programs down. If this should happen, the application will suspend
virus scanning by default and make resources available for user applications.
However, there are a number of programs which start execution as CPU
resources become available and run in the background. To make virus scans
independent of such programs, open the application settings window, select
Protection, and check Concede resources to other applications under
Additional (cf. Figure 6).
It should be noted that this setting may be configured for each individual virus
scan task. The individual task setting will have higher priority.
6.5. Troubleshooting Kaspersky
Internet Security Compatibility
with Other Applications
Running Kaspersky Internet Security may sometimes create conflicts with other
installed applications. This is related to these applications being equipped with a
built-in self-defense mechanism which is triggered by Kaspersky Internet
Security attempting to integrate with them. These applications include the
Authentica plugin for Adobe Reader, which verifies access to pdf documents,
Oxygen Phone Manager II for cell phone management as well as certain tamperproof
games.
