REATING A PROTECTION SCOPE
A protection scope should be understood not only as the location of the objects to be scanned but also the type of files to
be scanned. By default, Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans only potentially infectable files opened on any hard drive, network
drive or removable media.
be scanned. By default, Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans only potentially infectable files opened on any hard drive, network
drive or removable media.
You can expand or narrow down the protection scope by adding / removing objects to be scanned, or by changing the
type of files to be scanned. For example, you wish to scan only .exe files run from network drives. However, you should
make sure that you will not expose your computer to the threat of infection when narrowing down the protection scope.
type of files to be scanned. For example, you wish to scan only .exe files run from network drives. However, you should
make sure that you will not expose your computer to the threat of infection when narrowing down the protection scope.
When selecting file types you should remember the following:
There are a number of file formats that have a fairly low risk of having malicious code infiltrated into them and
subsequently activated (for example, .txt). Conversely, there are formats that contain or can contain executable
code, for instance .exe, .dll, .doc. The risk of activating malicious code in such files is quite high.

code, for instance .exe, .dll, .doc. The risk of activating malicious code in such files is quite high.
Remember that an intruder can send a virus to your computer in a file with the .txt extension, whereas it is in fact
an executable file renamed as .txt file. If you have selected the Files scanned by extension option, such a file
would be skipped by the scan. If the Files scanned by format setting has been selected, then, regardless of
the extension, File Anti-Virus will analyze the file header, uncover that the file is an .exe file, and scan it for
viruses.

When specifying the types of files to be scanned, you establish which file formats, sizes, and which drives will be
scanned for viruses when opened, executed, or saved.
scanned for viruses when opened, executed, or saved.
To make configuration easier, all files are divided into two groups: simple and compound. Simple files do not contain any
objects (for example, .txt file). Compound files can include several objects, each of which may also have several nesting
levels. Such objects can be archives, files containing macros, spreadsheets, emails with attachments, etc.

Remember that File Anti-Virus will scan only the files that are included in the protection scope created. Files that are not
included in that scope will be available for use without scanning. This increases the risk of infection on your computer!
