Kaspersky Anti-Virus Scanner
28
If you select the option to scan a certain location within your file system,
Kaspersky AV Scanner will automatically scan all the locations within the
selected one. However, when in the Expert view mode you can mark the
required sub-locations to be excluded from the check.
For example, you defined the
disks
C:
and
D:
to be checked for
viruses, but you do want the
D:\public\archives
directory to be
excluded from the location defined
to be checked. In this case you
must check the
C:
and
D:
boxes,
and then, in the hierarchy for the
D:
disk, uncheck the
archives
box.
If you excluded a folder from the location to be checked, a triangle will appear in
the checked boxes of all the parent locations: instead of . If you excluded a
certain location from the larger location that is defined to be checked for viruses,
the scanner will not check it at all or will not check it using the rules defined for
the parent location. You may eliminate (disable) this difference inside the larger
location, or keep it for a certain period of time. For details refer to subchapter 8.3.
For every defined location within your file system you can specify separate
scanning settings. For every defined location to be checked you can also specify
the objects to be checked by using the settings tree in the right hand pane.
3.3.1.1.
Defining objects to be checked. Memory,
sectors, and files
For locations that correspond to different levels of the file-system hierarchy the
upper right frame displays different groups of settings. The maximum quantity of
settings is displayed for the
My Computer
location. Here you can set your
scanner to check your computer memory, boot sectors, groups of disks and MS
Outlook Express (v. 5.0 and later) databases. When defining settings for a disk
you can enable the check of boot sectors and file systems located on this disk.
For a folder you cannot disable the check of file system. You can, however,
define how the scanner must process infected and suspicious objects, in what
type of files it must check for viruses and enable/disable the advanced scanning
modes for all the locations in the upper left frame.
