GLOSSARY
The product's documentation contains terms and concepts specific to the field of
anti-virus protection. This glossary contains definitions of such concepts. For
your convenience, the terms are arranged in the alphabetic order.
А
Administrator’s workstation
– a computer on which the Management Con-
sole (a component of Kaspersky Anti-Virus) is installed. This computer
is used to configure and manage the server part of the application
called the Security Server.
Anti-virus database –
database, created by Kaspersky Lab's specialists,
that contains detailed descriptions of all currently existing viruses and
methods for their detection and disinfection. Our anti-virus database is
constantly updated by Kaspersky Lab as new viruses appear. There-
fore, the administrator must update the anti-virus database, used by the
application, on a regular basis.
Anti-virus database updating
– a process of replacement of or appending
new records to the anti-virus database received by the application from
the Kaspersky Lab’s updates servers or from a network folder.
Application data folder
– the folder in which service folder and databases
required for the application to operate are stored. If you change the data
folder, all information stored in this folder must be saved to the new lo-
cation.
B
Background scan
– anti-virus scan of e-mail messages stored on the
server and of the content of the public folders using the latest version of
the anti-virus database. This scan involves public folders and protected
storages (mailbox storage). The scan may identify new viruses that
were not described in the anti-virus database at the time when previous
scans were performed.
Backup copying –
creation of a backup copy of an object before it is proc-
esses and moving this copy into a backup storage. Object stored in the
backup storage can later be restored, sent to Kaspersky Lab for analy-
sis or deleted.
Backup license key
– a license key installed for Kaspersky Anti-Virus but
not yet activated. The backup key starts functioning when the license
provided by the current key expires.
Backup storage -
a special storage area for storing backup copies of ob-
jects before these objects are disinfected, deleted or replaced. It is a
service folder created in the application's installation folder during the
installation of the Security Server component.
