5.1.3.5. Selecting anti-virus database type

Kaspersky Anti-Virus offers the choice of two anti-virus database types that can
be used by the application:
•
Standard database - the anti-virus database that contains records about
all malware known at the moment and about methods used for treating
this malware.
•
If you wish to protect data stored on your computer against potentially
dangerous programs, you have to use Extended anti-virus database. In
addition to records contained in the standard database, this database
contains description of adware, spyware hacking tools and other riskware.
The use of standard anti-virus database is sufficient to ensure regular
anti-virus protection of your computer. The use of the extended
database may affect the speed of your Anti-Virus operation. Besides,
some programs that you use may be treated as riskware.
