OBJECT CANNOT BE DISINFECTED
There are some cases when it is impossible to disinfect a malicious object. This could happen if a file is so damaged that
it is impossible to delete malicious code from it and restore integrity. The treatment procedure cannot be applied to
several types of dangerous objects, such as Trojans.
In such cases, a special notification will pop up containing:
Threat type (for instance, virus, Trojan) and the name of the malicious object as listed in the Kaspersky Lab
Virus Encyclopedia. The name of the dangerous object is given as a link to www.viruslist.com, where you can
find more detailed information on the type of threat detected on your computer.
Full name of the malicious object and a path to it.
You are asked to select one of the following responses to the object:
Delete – delete malicious object. Before deleting, a backup copy of the object is created in case the necessity
arises to restore it or a portrait of its infection.
Skip – block access to the object but perform no actions on it; simply record information about it in a report.
You can later come back to skipped malicious objects in the report window. However, you cannot postpone
processing objects detected in emails.
To apply the selected action to all objects of the same status detected in the current session of protection component or a
task operation, check the Apply to all box. The current session is the time from when the component is started until it
is disabled or the application is restarted or the time from beginning a virus scan task until it is complete.
SPECIAL TREATMENT REQUIRED
When you detect a threat that is currently active in the system (for example, a malicious process in RAM or in startup
objects), a message will pop up prompting you to carry out a special advanced disinfection procedure.
The Kaspersky Lab specialists strongly recommend that you agree with to carry out the advanced disinfection procedure.
To do so, click the OK button. However, note that your computer will restart once the procedure is complete, so we
recommend saving your current work and closing all applications before running the procedure.
While the disinfection procedure is running, email client or operating system registry editing sessions cannot be started.
After restarting your computer, you are advised to run the full virus scan.
