Scan mode means the condition under which File Anti-Virus starts to scan files. By default, File Anti-Virus scans files in smart mode. In this file scan mode, File Anti-Virus decides whether or not to scan files after analyzing operations that are performed with the file by you, by an application on behalf of you or a different user (under the account credentials that were used to log in to the operating system), or by the operating system. For example, when a Microsoft Office Word document is used, File Anti-Virus scans the file when it is first opened and last closed. Intermediate operations that overwrite the file do not cause it to be scanned.
To change the file scan mode via Kaspersky Security Center:
In the right part of the window, the File Anti-Virus component's settings are displayed.
