ABOUT ON-DEMAND SCAN
Kaspersky Mobile Security allows to perform a full or partial memory scan of the device and 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 application
databases used by the program. 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
144).
STARTING A SCAN MANUALLY
You can launch an on-demand scan manually at any time convenient to you, for example, when the device's processor is
not occupied performing other tasks.
To start an anti-virus scan, perform the following actions (see Figure below):
1. Select Scan in the Anti-Virus tab.
2. In the screen that will open select the device scan scope:
Full scan – scanning the entire memory of the device and the storage cards.
Memory scan – scanning of the processes running in the system memory and corresponding process files.
Folder scan – selecting and scanning a certain folder in the device's file system or on the connected
storage card for scanning.
