Runtime Computer Performance
To limit CPU and storage subsystem loads, virus scan tasks may be postponed.
Scanning for viruses increases CPU and storage subsystem loads thereby slow-
ing other programs down. If this should happen, the application will suspend vi-
rus scanning by default and make resources available for user applications.
However, there are a number of programs which start execution as CPU re-
sources become available and run in the background. To make virus scans inde-
pendent of such programs, open the application settings window, select
Protec-
tion,
and check
Concede resources to other applications
under
Addition-
al
(see Figure 6).
It should be noted that this setting may be configured for each individual virus
scan task. The individual task setting will have higher priority.

Troubleshooting Kaspersky Anti-
Virus Compatibility with Other
Applications
Running Kaspersky Anti-Virus may sometimes create conflicts with other in-
stalled applications. This is related to these applications being equipped with a
built-in self-defense mechanism which is triggered by Kaspersky Anti-Virus at-
tempting to integrate with them. These applications include the Authenticate plu-
gin for Adobe Reader, which verifies access to pdf documents, Oxygen Phone
Manager II for cell phone management as well as certain tamper-proof games.
To resolve this issue, open the application settings window, select
Protection,
and check
Compatibility with application self-defense
under
Compatibili-
ty
(see Figure 7). The operating system must be rebooted for these changes to
take effect.
