16.4.5. Actions after updating the program
Every threat signature update contains new records that protect your computer
from the latest threats.
Kaspersky Lab recommends that you scan
quarantined objects
and
startup
objects
each time after the database is updated.
Why these objects should be scanned?
The quarantine area contains objects that have been flagged by the program as
suspicious or possibly infected (see 17.1 on pg. 219). Using the latest version of
the threat signatures, Kaspersky Internet Security may be able to identify the
threat and eliminate it.
By default, the application scans quarantined objects after each threat signature
update. You are also advised to periodically view the quarantined objects
because their statuses can change after several scans. Some objects can then
be restored to their previous locations, and you will be able to continue working
with them.
To disable scans of quarantined objects, uncheck
Rescan Quarantine
in the
Actions after Update
section.
Startup objects are critical for the safety of your computer. If one of them is
infected with a malicious application, this could cause an operating system
startup failure. Kaspersky Internet Security has a built-in scan task for startup
objects (see Chapter 14 on pg. 187). You are advised to set up a schedule for
this task so that it is launched automatically after each threat signature update
(see 6.5 on pg. 78).
