Anti-Virus (Scanner)

Anti-Virus (Scanner) detects and neutralizes threats on your device.

The component is called Scanner in the free version of the app and Anti-Virus in the premium version.

Scanner performs the following functions:

Scan. Launches scanning of the entire file system, installed apps only, or a selected file or folder.
Update. Downloads updated anti-virus databases used to detect threats. Update ensures up-to-date protection of the device.
Quarantine. The app moves files detected during scans of the device or during the operation of Protection to Quarantine. In Quarantine, the app stores files in compressed format so they cannot harm the device.

Anti-Virus includes all Scanner features and provides device protection in automatic mode (Real-time protection feature). To provide protection in automatic mode, anti-virus databases and cloud service Kaspersky Security Network are used.

If an application that collects information and sends it to be processed is installed on your device, Kaspersky Internet Security may classify this application as malware.
