Archives

Kaspersky Anti-Virus is able only to detect viruses from archives. In
addition, Kaspersky Anti-Virus does not extract password-protected

Archives with self-extractors
– check this box to search for viruses in
self-extracting archives, i.e. executable files that can be started to

immediately start one of the extracted files.
The extracting tool is able to correctly extract files that have been compressed
multiple times. It can also deal with some versions of immunizers, programs
protecting executable files from viruses by attaching checking code blocks
(CPAV and F-XLOCK) and enciphering programs (CryptCOM) to them.
