ABOUT ON-DEMAND SCAN
Kaspersky Mobile Security allows to perform a full or partial scan of the device's memory, storage cards, messages and
of the system memory for the presence of malware objects.
The file is scanned for the presence of malware objects. Malicious objects are detected by comparison with the
application databases. The databases contain descriptions of all the malicious objects known to date and methods for
neutralizing them. If malicious code was detected in the file, Kaspersky Mobile Security blocks the file and performs an
action in accordance with the settings.
A scan can be launched manually or according to the schedule.
Information about the results of the on-demand scan is saved to the program log (see section “Program logs” on page
77).
STARTING A SCAN MANUALLY
You can launch a manual scan at any time convenient to you, for example, when the device is not occupied with other
tasks.
In order to start an anti-virus scan manually, perform the following actions:
1. Select Scan in the Anti-Virus tab.
2. In the Scan window (see Figure below) select the device scan scope:
Full scan: scanning the entire memory of the device and the storage cards.
Scan RAM : scanning of the processes running in the system memory and corresponding process files.
Scan messages: scanning of all messages.
