When started, Scanner loads virus-definition databases. If the operation
was successful, you will see the following message at the bottom of your
screen:

kavscanner
executable module).

If your anti-virus scanner is infected with a virus,
the program will ask whether you want to disinfect the file. In this case,
if you have a virus-free installation copy of Scanner, it is advisable that
you delete the infected installation and reinstall Scanner on your
computer hard disk. If there is no way to do so, select to
desInfect
the
file. After the file is disinfected, your anti-virus scanner will suggest
restarting the program and will shutdown.

If your anti-virus scanner is not infected,
after the self-check, it will begin checking for viruses in user predefined
objects by using predefined settings for handling them and by applying
predefined advanced scanning tools.
