If the action you have selected is…
… when an infected or potentially infected object is detected:
Do not prompt for action
Kaspersky Anti-Virus records information about detected objects in
the report without processing them. We do not recommend
enabling this operation mode since infected and potentially infected
objects persist on your computer and it is practically impossible to
avoid infection.
Do not prompt for action
Disinfect
Kaspersky Anti-Virus attempts to disinfect infected objects without
prompting the user for confirmation. If the object is successfully
disinfected, it becomes accessible to the user. If the object cannot
be disinfected, its location will not be changed. If the object cannot
be disinfected, its location will not be changed. Relevant
information is logged in the report (see section "Reports" on
page 81). To gain access to an object, objects in the report should
be processed. When a potentially infected object is detected, the
application blocks access to it and quarantines it (on page 75).
Do not prompt for action
Disinfect
Delete if disinfection fails
Kaspersky Anti-Virus attempts to disinfect detected objects without
prompting the user for confirmation. If the object is successfully
disinfected, it becomes accessible to the user. If the object cannot
be disinfected, it will be deleted.
Do not prompt for action
Delete
Kaspersky Anti-Virus deletes the object.
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.
CONFIGURING THE SCAN TASK SCHEDULE
You can run any virus scan task manually or automatically using a schedule (see section "Managing virus scan tasks" on
