CHAPTER 15.
ADVANCED
OPTIONS
Kaspersky Anti-Virus has other features that expand its functionality.
The program places some objects in special storage areas, in order to ensure
maximum protection of data with minimum losses.
Backup contains copies of objects that Kaspersky Anti-Virus has
changed or deleted (see 15.2 on pg. 161). If any object contained in-
formation that was important to you and could not be fully recovered
during anti-virus processing, you can always restore the object from its
backup copy.
Quarantine contains potentially infected objects that could not be
processed using the current application databases (see 15.1 on
pg. 158).
It is recommended that you periodically examine the list of stored objects. Some
of them may already be outdated, and some may have been restored.
The advanced options include a number of diverse useful features. For example:
Technical Support provides comprehensive assistance with Kaspersky
Anti-Virus (see 15.10 on pg. 190). Kaspersky provides you with several
channels for support, including on-line support, user forum, and Know-
ledge Base.
The Notifications feature sets up user notifications about key events for
Kaspersky Anti-Virus (see 15.9.1 on pg. 183). These could be either
events of an informative nature, or critical errors that must be eliminated
immediately.
Self-Defense protects the program's own files from being modified or
damaged by hackers, blocks remote administration from using the pro-
gram's features, and restricts other users on your computer from per-
forming certain actions in Kaspersky Anti-Virus (see 15.9.2 on pg. 187).
For example, changing the level of protection can significantly influence
information security on your computer.
Application Configuration Management stores application runtime pa-
rameters and facilitates replication of such parameters to other comput-
ers (see 15.9.3 on pg. 189), as well as recovery of default settings (see
15.9.4 on pg. 189).
