82 Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0
7.1. Selecting a file security level
File Anti-Virus protects files that you are using at one of the following levels (see
Figure 17):
• Maximum Protection – the level with the most comprehensive
monitoring of files opened, saved, or run.
• Recommended – Kaspersky Lab recommends this settings level. It will
scan the following object categories:
• Programs and files by contents
• New objects and objects modified since the last scan
• Embedded OLE objects
• High Speed – level with settings that let you comfortably use applications
that require significant system resources, since the scope of files scanned
is reduced.
Figure 17. File Anti-Virus security level
The default setting for File Anti-Virus is Recommended.
You can raise or lower the protection level for files you use by either selecting the
level you want, or changing the settings for the current level.
To change 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 set file security levels meet your needs, you can customize and the
protection settings. To do so, select the level that is closest to what you need as
a starting point and edit its settings. This will change the name of the security
level to Custom. Let us look at an example when preconfigured security level
settings may need to be modified.
