Kaspersky Anti-Virus® Personal Pro
Deleting an object – A method of treating an object. To delete an object
means to remove it physically from your computer. This method is
recommended for dangerous objects that for whatever reason cannot
be disinfected.
Disk boot sector – An area on your hard drive or on any removable media
(for example, a floppy disk or a CD-ROM). There are boot viruses that
infect disk boot sectors. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans boot sectors for
viruses and disinfects them if infection is detected.
Disinfecting dangerous objects – A method of treating dangerous objects.
Disinfection results in partial or full removal of malicious code from the
infected data, or a decision that these files cannot be disinfected.
Objects are disinfected using records contained in the anti-virus
database.
E
Email databases – Special format databases that contain email messages
stored on your computer. Every incoming/outgoing message is saved in
the database after you receive/send it. These databases are scanned
during a full scan of your computer. When real-time protection is
enabled, Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans all incoming and outgoing email
messages for viruses as they are being sent or received.
Exclusions – User-defined settings that exclude certain objects from the
scan scope. You can customize exclusion rules for real-time protection
and for on-demand scans. For instance, you can exclude archives from
the scan scope during a full scan or, by using masks, specify certain file
types that you do not want to scan.
F
False alarm – Situations when the application flags a clean object as
infected because the code contained in this file resembles a viral code.
False positive – see false alarm
H
Heuristic code analyzer – A highly efficient technology that allows the
application to detect unknown viruses. Objects that are suspected of
being infected with either an unknown virus or a modified existing virus
are identified using this technology.
High speed – A protection level that enables scanning of only objects that
may potentially become infected. This significantly reduces scan time.
I
iChecker™ technology – a technology that allows to increase the speed of
the anti-virus scan by excluding objects that have remain unchanged
since the moment they had been last scanned, provided that the scan
