CREATING A PROTECTION SCOPE
Protection scope is the location of objects being scanned and the types of files to be scanned. By default, Kaspersky
Small Office Security scans only potentially infectable files stored on any hard drive, network drive or removable media.
You can expand or restrict the protection scope by adding / removing objects to be scanned or changing the type of files
to be scanned. For example, you can only select EXE files run from network drives to be scanned.
When selecting file types please remember the following:
Probability of malicious code penetrating several file formats (such as .txt) and its further activation is quite low.
At the same time, there are formats that contain or may contain an executable code (such as .exe, .dll, .doc).
The risk of penetrating and activating malicious code in such files is quite high.
The intruder can send a virus to your computer in an executable file renamed as txt file. If you have selected the
scan of files by extension, such a file is skipped by the scan. If the scan of files by format is selected, then,
regardless of the extension, File Anti-Virus will analyze the file header, and reveal that the file is an .exe file.
Such a file would be thoroughly scanned for viruses.
To edit the object scan list:
1. Open the main application window.
2. In the top part of the window, click the Settings link.
