CONFIGURING VIRUS SCAN TASKS
The following settings determine how objects are scanned on your computer:
 Security level.
The security level is a set of parameters that define the balance between thoroughness and speed of scanning
of objects. There are three preset security levels (see section "Selecting the file security level" on page 32) with
settings developed by Kaspersky Lab specialists.
 Action on detected object.
An action defines how Kaspersky Anti-Virus (see section "Selecting actions on objects" on page 40) will react

 Schedule.
