B
Block object – Prevent external applications from accessing an object. The
blocked object cannot be read, executed, modified, or deleted.
Backing up – Creating a backup of a file in the BACKUP folder before
treating it (disinfection or deleting). This file can later be restored from
its backup, for example, for subsequent scanning with the updated anti-
virus database.
BACKUP folder – A directory that contains backups of deleted and
disinfected objects.
Backup storage – A folder that contains the backup copies of
Administration Server data created by the backup utility.
C
Console (management) plug-in – A special component that provides an
interface for remotely managing an application through the
Administration Console. The plug-ins are specific to each application
and are included in all Kaspersky Lab applications that can be managed
through Kaspersky Administration Kit.
Centrally managing an application – Managing an application through
Kaspersky Administration Kit.
Client, Administration Server (or client computer) – a computer, a server,
or a workstation with the installed Network Agent and managed
Kaspersky Lab applications.
D
Disinfection – A method of treating infected objects. Disinfection implies
partial or full recovery of data or results in a decision that these files
cannot be disinfected. Objects are disinfected using the anti-virus
database. If disinfection is the first action to be applied to an object, i.e.
the first action after detection of a suspicious object, the program
creates a backup of this file. If some data are lost during disinfection,
you can use the backup to recover this object.
Deleting an object – A method of handling an object. To delete an object is
to remove it physically from a computer. This method is recommended
for treating infected objects. If deleting is the first action applied to an
object, it is necessary to create a backup of this object before deleting it.
You can use the backup to restore the original object.
E
Exclusions – User-defined settings that exclude certain objects from scans.
You can customize the exclusion rules for real-time protection and on-
demand scans. Thus, you can disable scanning of archives during a full
scan or exclude files from scans by their masks.
E-mail databases – Databases that contain e-mail messages stored on
your computer. Every incoming/outgoing message is saved in the
