This check box enables / disables detection by Kaspersky Anti-Virus of software that criminals may use to damage your computer or the data stored on it.

Clicking this link opens a window where you can add scan exclusions.

You can exclude the following objects from scans:

• Files of a specified format
• Group of files identified by mask
• Folder or application
• Application process
• Objects identified by names or name masks according to the Virus Encyclopedia classification

Clicking this link opens a window with the list of trusted applications. If an application is included in the list of trusted ones, Kaspersky Anti-Virus does not monitor objects (such as files) used by that application.

If this check box is selected, when Kaspersky Anti-Virus detects malicious activity in the operating system, it prompts you to perform special advanced disinfection. This procedure is required when malware is already running on the computer and Kaspersky Anti-Virus cannot neutralize it using other methods. During advanced disinfection, the operating system is paused, so we recommend that you save important files beforehand. After advanced disinfection, the computer is automatically restarted.

If this check box is cleared, the disinfection technology is not applied to active infections.
