CREATING A PROTECTION SCOPE
Protection scope is understood as the type of messages to be scanned. By default, Kaspersky Small Office Security
scans both incoming and outgoing emails.
If you have selected scan only incoming messages, you are advised to scan outgoing email when you first begin using
Kaspersky Small Office Security since it is likely that there are worms on your computer which will distribute themselves
via email. This will avoid unpleasant situations caused by unmonitored mass emailing of infected emails from your
computer.
The protection scope also includes the settings used to integrate the Mail Anti-Virus component into the system, and the
protocols to be scanned. By default, the Mail Anti-Virus component is integrated into the Microsoft Office Outlook and
The Bat! email client applications.
To disable scans of outgoing emails:
1. Open the main application window.
2. In the top part of the window, click the Settings link.
3. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Mail Anti-Virus component.
