Chapter 4. Computer Protection Using The Default Settings; Default Settings - KAPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS 5.0 - FOR WINDOWS WORKSTATIONS Administrator's Manual

CHAPTER 4. COMPUTER
PROTECTION USING THE

DEFAULT SETTINGS

Anti-virus protection starts working immediately after application installation using
its default settings. These settings are recommended by the Kaspersky Lab's
experts for ensuring the optimum protection of your computer.
If you are using centralized administration feature via Kaspersky
Administration Kit, the settings can be determined by the policies and
tasks created by the Security Administrator. This requires that a "lock"
is set on the corresponding settings. Details see Kaspersky
Administration Kit 5.0 Reference Guide.
Additionally, there is a possibility for easy settings modification by selecting one
of the three protection levels predefined by the Kaspersky Lab's experts:
maximum protection, recommended and maximum speed.
