The object scanning mode determines File Anti-Virus processing conditions. You have the following options:
 Smart mode. This mode is aimed at speeding up the processing of objects and returning them to the user.
When it is selected, a decision to scan is made based on analyzing the operations performed with the object.
For example, when using a Microsoft Office file, Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans the file when it is first opened and
last closed. All operations in between that overwrite the file are not scanned.
Smart mode of scanning the objects is used by default.
 On access and modification – File Anti-Virus scans objects as they are opened or edited.
 On access – only scans objects when an attempt is made to open them.
 On execution – only scans objects when an attempt is made to run them.
