6. Actions Taken For
Infected Files
Actions that are taken by your KAV for Firewall
when it detected a virus in the data traffic for various
protocols.
When KAV for Firewall detects infected files, it captures and holds a
share of each of those files (the share that is held by the program is
measured in percentage from the entire size of the file and must be
defined for every protocol separately (see subchapter 5.4.4.4)) .
Consequently, the user doesn’t receive the file as a whole, what, in
most cases, prevents the virus from being started on the user
computer.
However, there are some differences between various protocols as
to how the infected files are processed (if you enabled the program
not to pass the infected files):
• The SMTP traffic allows the program to capture and
hold 100% of the examined file, i.e. if the file is infected
it is possible that the user will not receive any of it.
