COMPUTER FILE SYSTEM PROTECTION
File Anti-Virus prevents infection of the computer's file system. It loads when you start your operating system and runs in
your computer's RAM, scanning all files that are opened, saved or executed.
By default, File Anti-Virus scans only new or modified files. A collection of settings, called the security level, determines
the conditions for file scan. If File Anti-Virus detects a threat, it will perform the assigned action.
File and memory protection level on your computer is determined by the following combinations of settings:
those creating a protection scope;
those determining the scan method;
those determining how compound files are scanned (including scanning of large compound files);
those determining the scan mode;
those allowing to pause the component by schedule or during the operation of selected applications.
Kaspersky Lab's specialists advise you not to configure File Anti-Virus settings on your own. In most cases, changing the
security level will be enough. To restore the default File Anti-Virus settings, select one of the security levels.
To modify File Anti-Virus settings:
1. Open the main application window and click the Settings link in the top part of the window.
2. In the window that will open, in the Protection section select the File Anti-Virus component.
3. Click the Settings button for the component you have selected.
4. Make the required changes in the component settings.
