Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0
Why these objects should be scanned?
The quarantine area contains objects that have been flagged by the program as
suspicious or possibly infected (see 15.1 on pg. 158). Using the latest version of
the databases, Kaspersky Anti-Virus may be able to identify the threat and elimi-
nate it.
By default, the application scans quarantined objects after each update. You are
also advised to periodically view the quarantined objects because their statuses
can change after several scans. Some objects can then be restored to their pre-
vious locations, and you will be able to continue working with them.
To disable scans of quarantined objects, uncheck
Rescan Quarantine
in the
Actions after Update
section.
Startup objects are critical for the safety of your computer. If one of them is in-
fected with a malicious application, this could cause an operating system startup
failure. Kaspersky Anti-Virus has a built-in scan task for startup objects (see
Chapter 11 on pg. 125). You are advised to set up a schedule for this task so
that it is launched automatically after each databases update (see 6.7 on pg. 61).
