CHAPTER 16. FREQUENTLY 

ASKED QUESTIONS 

This chapter is devoted to questions most frequently asked by users regarding 
the installation, setup, and operation of Kaspersky Security for Microsoft 
Exchange Server 2003. We will try to answer them here in detail.  

 

Question: Can the application be used with other vendors' anti-virus 
software? 

Kaspersky Security 5.5 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 is an anti-
virus e-mail application designed to be used in corporate networks. 
Therefore, it can be used together with Kaspersky Lab's anti-virus 
applications included into Business Optimal and Corporate Suite 
software packages (for example, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.0 for Windows 
Workstations, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.0 for Windows File Servers), 
deployed in the network. 

In order to avoid conflicts we recommend that you remove any third-
party anti-virus software before you install Kaspersky Security 5.5 for 
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. 

 

Question: Why does the application cause a certain decrease in my 
computer performance and impose a considerable load on the 
processor? 

The process of virus detection is a purely computational (mathematical) 
task that involves analysis of structures, checksum calculation and 
mathematical data transformation. Therefore, the main resource con-
sumed by the anti-virus application is the processor time. Moreover, 
each new virus added into the anti-virus database adds to the overall 
scanning time. This is the price that computer users pay for the security 
of their data.  

Unlike other anti-virus software vendors that speed up the scan process 
by excluding from their databases viruses that are less easily detectable 
or less frequent in the geographic location of the anti-virus vendor and 
file formats that require complicated analysis (e.g. PDF files), Kaspersky 
Lab believes that the purpose of an anti-virus application is to deliver to 
its users a genuine anti-virus security. 

Kaspersky Security allows experienced users to accelerate the anti-virus 
scanning process to the detriment of the overall security by disabling
