Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0
In addition, you can configure global settings (see 11.4.8 on pg. 139) for running
all tasks.
The following sections examine the task settings listed above in detail.
11.4.1.
Selecting a security level
Each virus scan task can be assigned a security level (see Figure 45):
Maximum Protection
– the most complete scan of the entire computer or indi-
vidual disks, folders, or files. You are advised to use this level if you suspect
that a virus has infected your computer.
Recommended
–
Kaspersky Lab experts recommend this level. The same files
will be scanned as for the
Maximum Protection
setting, except for email
databases.
High Speed
– level with settings that let you comfortably use resource-intensive
applications, since the scope of files scanned is reduced.
Figure 45. Selecting a virus scan security level
By default, the File Anti-Virus security level is set to
Recommended
.
You can raise or lower the scan security level by selecting the level you want or
changing the settings for the current level.
To edit the security level:
Adjust the sliders. By adjusting the security level, you define the ratio of scan
speed to the total number of files scanned: the fewer files are scanned for vi-
ruses, the higher the scan speed.
If none of the file security levels listed meet your needs, you can customize the
protection settings. It is recommended that you select a level closest to your re-
quirements as basis and edit its parameters. This will change the name of the
security level to
Custom
.
To modify the settings for a security level:
1. Open application settings window and select a scan task under
Scan
.
