To do so, check the
Use code analyzer
box.
B.2.1.1. Code analyzer
Code analyzer
scans file and sector codes using different paths of the
Kaspersky
Anti-Virus
algorithm and detects virus-like instructions. If Code
Analyzer detects a sequence of commands like file opening, file writing, interrupt
vector intercept etc. such a file is considered
“
suspicious
”
and an appropriate
message is displayed.
Of course, like any heuristic algorithm, Code Analyzer can give false responses.
However, it has been tested with a very large number of objects and did not give
any real false response. If you ever experience false responses with uninfected
files, please send copies of these files to Kaspersky Lab for analysis.
