ABOUT REAL-TIME PROTECTION
Real-Time Protection is launched at the operation system startup, is permanently loaded in the device's RAM and
monitors all opened, saved or run files. Files are scanned according to the following algorithm:
1. The component intercepts each attempt of access to each file from the part of the user or a program.
2. The file is scanned for the presence of malware object. Malicious objects are detected by comparison with
program databases. The databases contain descriptions of all the malicious objects known to date and methods
for neutralizing them.
After the analysis, Kaspersky Mobile Security may take the following courses of action:
If malicious code was detected in the file, Kaspersky Mobile Security blocks the file and performs an action
in accordance with the settings.
If no malicious code is discovered in the file, it will be immediately restored.
Information about the results of the scan is saved to the program log (see section “Program logs” on page 77).
