Kaspersky Security 5.5 for PDA
about detecting an infected object will open and you will be asked about future
actions.
If an infected object has been detected during the launch of a program (only for
Palm OS 5.x), the user will always be prompted to specify future actions (see
section 6.5.2 on page 42).
6.5.1. Scanning data transferred via
HotSync and Beam
By default, in real-time mode Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans all objects transferred
via HotSync and Beam technologies.
You can enable / disable these real-time scans in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus
configuration screen (see section 6.3 on page 36).
While scanning the objects transferred by means of HotSync, Kaspersky Anti-
Virus analyzes only new or modified data.
If the latest anti-virus database is copied from a PC to your PDA along
with other objects, the new database will be installed after synchroniza-
tion and used for later scans.
If, during synchronization of your PDA by means of HotSync, the execu-
table module KAVP.PRC is transferred along with other objects, the
application will not scan the module or the data. If the module is in-
fected with a virus, the application will detect it during the
next
scan but
will be unable to disinfect or delete it, because the module is a part of
Kaspersky Anti-Virus. In this case, use standard tools to remove the
module from your PDA.
When files are beamed from other Palm-based PDA by means of Beam
technology, the application will scan them immediately after they are copied.
6.5.2. Intercepting malicious software
during program launch
Kaspersky Anti-Virus is capable of detecting viruses when any applica-
tion is called only on PDAs running Palm OS 5.x.
If Kaspersky Anti-Virus detects an infected object while a program is launching,
the
Infected object
screen will open (see Figure 1), regardless of the action
specified in the
Configuration
screen (see section 6.3 on page 36). The
