File Anti-Virus 89
For example, when using a Microsoft Office file, Kaspersky Internet
Security scans the file when it is first opened and last closed. All
operations in between that overwrite the file are not scanned.
Smart mode is the default.
• On access and modification – File Anti-Virus scans files as they are
opened or edited.
• On access – only scans files when an attempt is made to open them.
• On execution – only scans files when an attempt is made to run them.
You might need to pause File Anti-Virus when performing tasks that require
significant operating system resources. To lower the load and ensure that the
user regains access to files quickly, we recommend configuring the component
to disable at a certain time or while certain programs are used.
To pause the component for a certain length of time, check On schedule and
in the window that opens (see Figure 5) click Schedule to assign a time frame
for disabling and resuming the component. To do so, enter a value in the format
HH:MM in the corresponding fields.
Figure 21. Pausing the component
To disable the component when working with programs that require significant
resources, check On applications startup and edit the list of programs in the
window that opens (see Figure 22) by clicking List.
To add an application to the list, use the Add button. A context menu will open,
and by clicking Browse you can go to the standard file selection window and
specify the executable file the application to add. Or, go to the list of applications
currently running from the Applications item and select the one you want.
To delete an application, select it from a list and click Delete.
You can temporarily disable the pause on File Anti-Virus when using a specific
application. To do so, uncheck the name of the application. You do not have to
delete it from the list.
