In the Compound files section, specify which compound files should be scanned for viruses:
 Scan archives - scan archives in ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ formats;
 Scan installation packages - scan self-unpacking archives for viruses;
 Scan attachments - scan objects embedded in files, such as Excel spreadsheets or a macro embedded in a
Microsoft Office Word file, or email attachments.
To specify which files should not be scanned for viruses, use the following settings:
 Extract archive in background if larger than ... MB. If the size of the compound object exceeds this limit, it will
be scanned by Kaspersky Anti-Virus as a single object (header scanned) and become operable for the user.
The objects it contains will be scanned later. If the box is not checked, access to files larger than the specified
value will be blocked until the object scan is complete.
 Do not process archives larger than ... MB. Any file larger than the specified value will be skipped without
being scanned for viruses.
To specify types of objects to be scanned by File Anti-Virus:
1. Open the application settings window (on page 15) and select the Protection tab.
2. Click the Preferences button in the Security level section (see the figure below).
