FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
This chapter is devoted to the most frequently asked questions from users per-
taining to installation, setup and operation of the Kaspersky Anti-Virus; here we
shall try to answer them here in detail.
Question: Is it possible to use Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 with anti-virus products of
other vendors?
No. We recommend uninstalling anti-virus products of other vendors
prior to installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus to avoid software conflicts.
Question: Kaspersky Anti-Virus does not rescan files that have been scanned
earlier. Why?
This is true. Kaspersky Anti-Virus does not rescan files that have not
changed since the last scan.
That has become possible due to new iChecker and iSwift technologies.
The technology is implemented in the program using a database of file
checksums and file checksum storage in alternate NTFS streams.
Question: Why is activation required? Will Kaspersky Anti-Virus work without a
key file?
Kaspersky Anti-Virus will run without a key, although you will not be
able to access the Updater and Technical Support.
If you still have not decided whether to purchase Kaspersky Anti-Virus,
we can provide you with a trial license that will work for either two
weeks or a month. Once that time has elapsed, the key will expire.
Question: After the installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus the operating system
started “behaving” strangely (“blue screen of death”, frequent restarting,
etc.) What should I do?
Although rare, it is possible that Kaspersky Anti-Virus and other
software installed on your computer will conflict.
In order to restore the functionality of your operating system do the
following:
1.
Press the
F8
key repeatedly between the time when the computer
just started loading until the boot menu is displayed.
2.
Select
Safe Mode
and load the operating system.
