P R O X Y S E R V E R
Computer network service which allows users to make indirect requests to other network services. First, a user connects
to a proxy server and requests a resource (e.g., a file) located on another server. Then, the proxy server either connects
to the specified server and obtains the resource from it, or returns the resource from its own cache (in case if the proxy
has its own cache). In some cases, a user's request or a server's response can be modified by the proxy server in certain
reasons.
Q U A R A N T I N E
A certain folder into which all possibly infected objects are placed, which were detected during scans or by real-time
protection.
R E A L - T I M E P R O T E C T I O N
The application's operating mode under which objects are scanned for the presence of malicious code in real time.
The application intercepts all attempts to open any object (read, write, or execute) and scans the object for threats.
Uninfected objects are passed on to the user; objects containing threats or suspected of containing them are processed
pursuant to the task settings (they are disinfected, deleted or quarantined).
R E C O M M E N D E D L E V E L
Level of security based on application settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab experts to provide the optimal level of
protection for your computer. This level is set to be used by default.
R E S T O R A T I O N
Moving an original object from Quarantine or Backup to the folder where it was originally found before being moved to
Quarantine, disinfected, or deleted, or to a different folder specified by the user.
S C R I P T
A small computer program or an independent part of a program (function) which, as a rule, has been developed to
execute a small specific task. It is most often used with programs embedded into hypertext. Scripts are run, for example,
when you open a certain website.
If real-time protection is enabled, the application will track the scripts launching, intercept them, and scan for viruses.
Depending on the results of the scan you can block or allow the execution of a script.
S E C U R I T Y L E V E L
The security level is defined as a pre-set component configuration.
S O C K S
Proxy server protocol that allows to establish a point-to-point connection between computers in the internal and external
networks.
S T A R T U P O B J E C T S
The set of programs needed to start and correctly operate the operating system and software installed on your computer.
These objects are executed every time the operating system is started. There are viruses capable of infecting such
objects specifically, which could lead to, for example, blocking your access to the operating system.
S U S P I C I O U S O B J E C T
An object that contains modified code of a known virus or code that resembles code of a virus, but is not yet known to
Kaspersky Lab. Suspicious objects are detected using the heuristic analyzer.
T A S K
Functions performed by Kaspersky Lab's application are implemented as tasks, such as: Real-time file protection, Full
computer scan, Database update.
T A S K S E T T I N G S
Application settings which are specific for each task type.
