your computer, or displayed online.
Parental Control
The Parental Control component monitors the users' access to web resources. The main purpose of Parental Control
is to restrict access to adult websites dealing with pornography, firearms, drug abuse, provoking cruelty, violence,
etc., as well as to websites which may lead to wasting time (chat rooms, gaming sites) or money (e-stores, auctions).
VIRUS SCAN TASKS
In addition to the constant protection of all the ways that malicious programs can penetrate, it is extremely important to
periodically scan your computer for viruses. This is necessary in order to rule out the possibility of spreading malicious
programs that have not been discovered by security components, for example, because the security level was set to low
or for other reasons.
The following virus scan tasks are included in Kaspersky Anti-Virus:
Object Scan. Scan of objects selected by the user. You can scan any object in the computer's file system.
Full Scan. A thorough scan of the entire system. The following objects are scanned by default: system memory,
programs loaded on startup, system backup, email databases, hard drives, removable storage media and
network drives.
Quick Scan. Virus scan of operating system startup objects.
UPDATE
To block any network attack, delete a virus or other malicious program, Kaspersky Anti-Virus should be regularly
updated. The Update component is designed for that purpose. It handles the update of application databases and
modules used by the application.
The update distribution service allows saving databases and program modules updates downloaded from Kaspersky Lab
servers to a local folder and then granting access to them to other computers on the network to reduce network traffic.
PROTECTION OF DATA AND ONLINE ACTIVITY
Kaspersky Anti-Virus protects you computer data against malicious programs and unauthorized access, as well as
ensures the safety of your operations in the local network and in the Internet.
Protected objects are divided into three groups:
Files, personal data, parameters of access to different resources (user names and passwords), information
about banking cards etc. Protection of these objects is provided by File Anti-Virus and Proactive Defense.
Applications installed on your computer and operating system objects. Protection of these objects is provided by
Mail Anti-Virus, Web Anti-Virus, IM Anti-Virus and Proactive Defense.
Online activity: using e-payment systems, email protection against spam and viruses etc. Protection of these
objects is provided by Mail Anti-Virus, Web Anti-Virus, IM Anti-Virus and Anti-Phishing.
