CREATING THE PROTECTION SCOPE OF FILE ANTI-VIRUS
The protection scope implies the location and type of files being scanned. By default, Kaspersky Internet Security scans
only potentially infectable files stored on any hard drive, network drive or removable media.
To create the protection scope:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the File Anti-Virus component.
3. Click the Settings button in the right part of the window.
4. In the window that opens, on the General tab, in the File types section, specify the type of files that you want to
be scanned by File Anti-Virus:
If you want to scan all files, select All files.
If you want to scan files of formats that are the most vulnerable to infection, select Files scanned by
format.
If you want to scan files with extensions that are the most vulnerable to infection, select Files scanned by
extension.
When selecting type of files to be scanned, you should note that:
The probability of malicious code penetrating some file formats (such as TXT) and its subsequent activation
is quite low. However, there are formats that contain or may contain an executable code (such as EXE,
DLL, DOC). The risk of penetration and activation of malicious code in such files is quite high.
A hacker may send a virus or other riskware to your computer within an executable file renamed as one
with the TXT extension. If you have selected scanning files by extension, such a file is skipped by the scan.
If scanning of files by format is selected, then, regardless of the extension, File Anti-Virus will analyze the
file header and reveal that the file is an EXE file. Such file is thoroughly scanned for viruses and other
riskware.
5. In the Protection scope list, perform one of the following actions:
If you want to add a new object to the list of objects to be scanned, click the Add link.
If you want to change an object's location, select one from the list and click the Edit link.
