component settings window by clicking Settings.
2. Click

8.2.5. Selecting actions for dangerous
email objects
If a scan shows that an email or any of its parts (body, attachment) is infected or
suspicious, the steps taken by Mail Anti-Virus depend on the object status and
the action selected.
One of the following statuses can be assigned to the email object after the scan:
•
Malicious program status (for example,
virus, Trojan –
for more details,
see 1.1 on pg. 11).
•
Potentially infected
, when the scan cannot determine whether the object
is infected. This means that the program detected a sequence of code in
the file from an unknown virus or modified code from a known virus.
By default, when Mail Anti-Virus detects a dangerous or potentially infected
object, it displays a warning on the screen and prompts the user to select an
action for the object.
To edit an action for an object:
Open the Kaspersky Internet Security settings window and select
Anti-Virus
. All possible actions for dangerous objects are listed in the
Action
box (see fig. 28).
