Selecting actions according to object type

Kaspersky Anti-Virus blocks access to the detected object irrespective of the selected action.

You can specify operations for the following types of objects:

  • Virus – viruses;
  • Trojan – trojans;
  • Malicious program – programs which cannot harm your server directly, but can be used by developers of malicious code or various malicious programs;
  • Adware – advertising applications;
  • Pornware – programs which download pornographic material or pornography sites without the user's permission;
  • Riskware – harmless programs which could be used for malicious purposes. An example of such software is Remote Administrator utility.

You can specify two actions for each object type. If Kaspersky Anti-Virus fails to perform the first action, it will perform the second action.

You can specify the following actions:

  • Perform recommended action. Kaspersky Anti-Virus automatically selects and performs actions on the object based on data about the object detected in the file and about the possibility of disinfecting it. For example, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will immediately remove Trojans since they do not incorporate themselves into other files and do not infect them; therefore they do not need to be disinfected.
  • Disinfect. Kaspersky Anti-Virus attempts to disinfect the object, and if disinfection is not possible, it leaves the object intact.
  • Quarantine. Kaspersky Anti-Virus moves the object to quarantine, where it is stored in encrypted form.
  • Delete. Kaspersky Anti-Virus deletes the object.
  • Skip. Kaspersky Anti-Virus leaves the object unchanged.

The option to Perform recommended action can only be selected as the first action.

If Skip was selected as the first action, the second action can be Skip only.

If Perform recommended action or Remove was selected as the first action, Quarantine cannot be selected as the second action.
