If the action you have selected is…
… when an infected or potentially infected object is detected:
Block access
Disinfect
Kaspersky Anti-Virus blocks access to the infected object and attempts to
disinfect it. If the object is successfully disinfected, it becomes available for
use. If the object cannot be disinfected, its location is not be changed. To
gain access to an object, objects in the report should be processed
(see section "The Detected tab" on page 83). When a potentially infected
object is detected, the application blocks access to this object and
quarantines it (on page 75).
Block access
Disinfect
Delete if disinfection fails
Application blocks access to the object and attempts to disinfect it. If the
object is successfully disinfected, it becomes accessible to the user. If the
object cannot be disinfected, it will be deleted.
Block access
Delete
Application blocks access to the object and deletes it.
Before disinfecting the object or deleting it, Kaspersky Anti-Virus creates a backup copy and places it to the backup (on
page 78) in case the object will need to be restored, or it becomes possible to disinfect it.
RESTORING DEFAULT FILE PROTECTION SETTINGS
When modifying the File Anti-Virus settings, it is always possible to restore the default settings. Kaspersky Lab considers
these settings to be optimal and have collected them in the Recommended protection level.
To restore default protection settings:
1. Open the application settings window (on page 15) and select the Protection tab (see figure below).
2. Click the Default button in the Security level section.
