•
Disinfect, delete if disinfection fails – attempt to disinfect a dangerous
object, delete if disinfection is not possible. In this case, potentially dan-
gerous objects will also be disinfected and deleted if they cannot be disin-
fected. Before the object is attempted to be disinfected a backup copy will
be saved in the backup storage.
•
Delete objects – delete dangerous object detected during the scan
without attempting to disinfect it and without prompting use for
confirmation. When an object is deleted, its copy will be saved to the
backup storage. We recommend that you select this mode of Kaspersky
Anti-Virus operation only if you are sure that you will not lose valuable
information.
•
Report only - do not perform any action with the object, record
information about infection into the application's operation report. We
recommend that you select this mode operation in very rare cases as in
this case dangerous and malicious objects will remain in your computer.
There are situations when it is impossible to perform action with the object. For
example, when an infected object is in use by another application at the moment
it is to be scanned, such object can not be processed. In this case a
corresponding message will be displayed (see Figure 32), where you will be
offered to perform one of the below actions:
5 By default infected RAM objects will be deleted and boot sectors infected with viruses
will be disinfected and blocked if disinfection is not possible.
Disinfect infected object, delete if disinfection fails
Quarantine the object possibly infected with a virus or its
modification.
Sometimes as the result of placing the file into quarantine, a
message can be displayed informing the user that this object
cannot be deleted. This is related to the fact that placing an
object into quarantine involves moving this object: copying it
to the quarantine and deleting it from its original location.
However, some objects cannot be deleted when they are
moved, for example, an object currently in use by another
application.
Delete a dangerous object if it is a trojan horse or a warm.
If an infected / potentially infected object is a riskware,
then such object will be skipped.
