CHAPTER 4.
PROGRAM
INTERFACE
Kaspersky Anti-Virus has a straightforward, user-friendly interface. This chapter
will discuss its basic features:
Icon in the taskbar notification area (see 4.1 on pg. 39)
Context menu (see 4.2 on pg. 40)
Main window (see 4.3 on pg. 41)
Program settings window (see 4.4 on pg. 45)
In addition to the main program interface, there are plug-ins for the following ap-
plications:
Microsoft Office Outlook (see 8.2.2 on pg. 92)
The Bat! (see 8.2.3 on pg. 93)
Microsoft Internet Explorer (see Chapter 9 on pg. 99)
Microsoft Windows Explorer (see 11.2 on pg. 126)
The plug-ins extend the functionality of these programs by making Kaspersky
Anti-Virus management and settings possible from their interfaces.
