KASPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS SELF-DEFENSE

Kaspersky Anti-Virus ensures your computer‟s security against malware and, because of that, can be the target of

malicious programs which may try to block or even delete it.

To ensure the reliability of your computer's security system, Kaspersky Anti-Virus is provided with features of self-

defense and protection against remote access.

On computers running under 64-bit operating systems and Microsoft Windows Vista, self-defense is only available to

prevent Kaspersky Anti-Virus's own files on local drives and system registry records from being modified or deleted.

Frequent are the situations when remote administration programs (such as RemoteAdmin) are needed while using the

remote access protection. To ensure their normal performance, you should add these programs to the list of trusted

applications and enable the Do not monitor application activity option for them.
