 Maximum protection. The most complete scan of the entire computer or individual disks, folders, or files. We
recommend using this level if you suspect that a virus has infected your computer.
 Recommended. This is the level with the settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab experts.
 Maximum speed. This level enables you to comfortably use other applications that require significant system
resources, since the range of files scanned is smaller.
Figure 30: Application settings window. Scanning for viruses
The default setting for object scan is the Recommended level. You can raise or lower the scan's security level by
selecting a new level, or by modifying the settings for the current level.
To change the security level,
adjust the slider bar. Changing the security level changes the balance between scan speed and the total number of
files scanned: the fewer the files scanned for viruses, the higher the scan speed.
If none of the preset security levels meets your needs, customize the scan settings. You are advised to select as a basis
the level which is the closest to your requirements, and edit its settings. This will change the name of the security level to
Custom.
To modify the settings for the current security level:
1. Open the application settings window (on page 15) and select the Virus Scan tab (see figure above).
