Scanning computers for viruses
133
Warning!
Kaspersky Anti-Virus does not delete compressed file formats that it does not
support (for example, .ha, .uue, .tar) automatically, even if you select the option
of automatically curing or deleting if the objects cannot be cured.
To delete such compressed files, click the Delete archives link in the dangerous
object detection notification. This notification will be displayed on the screen after
the program begins processing objects detected during the scan. You can also
delete infected archives manually.
Scan all/new only embedded OLE objects
– scan objects imbedded in files
(for example, Excel spreadsheets or a macro imbedded in a Microsoft Word
file, email attachments, etc.).
You can select and scan all files or only new ones for each type of compound
file. To do so, use the link next to the name of the object. It changes its value
when you left-click on it. If the
Productivity
section has been set up only to scan
new and modified files, you will not be able to select the type of compound files
to be scanned.
Parse email formats
– scan email files and email databases. If this checkbox
is selected, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will parse the mail file and analyze every
component of the e-mail (body, attachments) for viruses. If this checkbox is
deselected, the mail file will be scanned as a single object.
Please note, when scanning password-protected email databases:
Kaspersky Anti-Virus detects malicious code in Microsoft Office Out-
look 2000 databases but does not disinfect them;
Kaspersky Anti-Virus does not support scans for malicious code in
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 protected databases.
Scan password-protected archives
– scans password protected archives.
With this feature, a window will request a password before scanned archived
objects. If this box is not checked, password-protected archives will be
skipped.

Additional virus scan settings
In addition to configuring the basic virus scan settings, you can also use addi-
tional settings (see Figure 47):
Use iChecker technology
– enable technology that can increase the scan
speed by excluding certain objects from the scan. An object is excluded from
the scan using a special algorithm that takes into account the release date of
