WIZARDS AND TOOLS

Ensuring computer's security is a difficult task that requires the expertise in operating system's features and in ways of

exploiting its weak points. Besides, the volume and diversity of information about system security makes its analysis and

processing difficult.

To facilitate solving specific tasks in providing computer security, a set of wizards and tools was included in the

Kaspersky Anti-Virus package:

Browser Configuration Wizard (see page 120), performing the analysis of Microsoft Internet Explorer browser

settings and evaluating them, primarily, from the security point of view.

System Restore Wizard (see page 121), eliminating traces of a malware object's presence in the system.

Privacy Cleaner Wizard (see page 121) searches for and eliminates traces of a user's activities in the system,

and the operating system's settings which allow gathering of information about the user's activities.

Rescue Disk (see page 118), designed to scan and disinfect infected x86-compatible computers. The

application should be used when the infection is at such level that it is deemed impossible to disinfect the

computer using anti-virus applications or malware removal utilities.

Vulnerability Scan (see page 81), performing computer diagnostics and searching for vulnerabilities in the

operating system and user applications installed on the computer.

Virtual keyboard (see page 117), preventing the interception of data entered at the keyboard.

SUPPORT FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM

Kaspersky Anti-Virus includes a number of support features. They are designed to keep the application up-to-date, to

expand its capabilities and to assist you in using the application.

Data files and reports

During the application's operation, a report is created for each protection component, scan task, or application

update task. It contains the information on performed activities and operation results; with them, you will be able to

learn the details of how any Kaspersky Anti-Virus component works. Should problems arise, you can send the

reports to Kaspersky Lab so our specialists can study the situation in greater depth and help you as quickly as

possible.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus moves all files suspected of being dangerous to the special storage area called Quarantine.

They are stored there in an encrypted form as to avoid infecting the computer. You can scan these objects for

viruses, restore them to their initial location, delete them, or add files on your own to the quarantine. All files that

prove to be not infected upon completion of the virus scan are automatically restored to their initial location.

The Backup holds copies of files disinfected and deleted by Kaspersky Anti-Virus. These copies are created in case

it is necessary to restore the files or a picture of their infection. The backup copies of the files are also stored in an

encrypted form to avoid further infections.

You can restore a file from the backup storage to the initial location or delete a copy.
