Figure 32: Scanning for viruses. Configuring scan settings
SELECTING ACTIONS ON OBJECTS
If an anti-virus scan shows that a file is infected or suspected of being infected, Kaspersky Anti-Virus' subsequent actions
depend on the object's status and the action selected.
One of the following statuses can be assigned to the object after the scan:
 status of a malicious program (for example, virus, Trojan).
 potentially infected when the scan cannot determine whether the object is infected or not. The program has
probably found in the file a sequence of code from an unknown virus, or of modified code from a known virus.
By default, all infected files are subject to disinfection, and all potentially infected files are sent to quarantine (on
page 75).
