APPENDIX B. GLOSSARY
The product's documentation contains terms and concepts specific to the field of
anti-virus protection. This glossary contains definitions of such concepts. For your
convenience, the terms are arranged in the alphabetic order.
А
Administrator’s workstation
– a computer on which the Management Con-
sole (a component of Kaspersky Anti-Virus) is installed. This computer is
used to configure and manage the server part of the application called
the Security Server.
Anti-virus database –
database, created by Kaspersky Lab's specialists,
containing detailed descriptions of all currently existing viruses and
methods for their detection and disinfection. Our anti-virus database is
constantly updated by Kaspersky Lab as new viruses appear. Therefore,
the administrator must update the anti-virus database, used by the ap-
plication, on a regular basis.
B
Background scan
– anti-virus scan of e-mail messages stored on the server
and of the content of the public folders using the latest version of the
anti-virus database. This scan involves public folders and protected stor-
ages (mailbox storage). The scan may identify new viruses that were not
described in the anti-virus database at the time when previous scans
were performed.
Backup copying –
creation of a backup copy of an object before it is proc-
esses and moving this copy into a backup storage. Object stored in the
backup storage can later be restored, sent to Kaspersky Lab for analysis
or deleted.
Backup license key
– a license key installed for Kaspersky Anti-Virus but
not yet activated. The backup key starts functioning when the license
provided by the current key expires.
Backup storage (BACKUP)
is as special storage area for storing backup
copies of objects before these objects are disinfected, deleted or re-
placed. It is a service folder created in the application's installation folder
during the installation of the Security Server component.
Black list
– a database that contains information about license keys whose
owners infringed the terms of the License Agreement and about keys
that have been created but, for any reason, have not been sold. The
content of the black list is updated on a daily basis.
