with the settings defined for anti-virus scanning.
The Apply to all password-protected objects within this session box applies
to the action selected after it is checked.
For example, if you checked this box and then select Skip, Skip archive, then
the remaining password-protected objects will not be scanned. Or, if you enter
the password and click ОК, then the application will attempt to apply that
password to all the remaining password-protected objects without displaying a
dialog box.
If the archive cannot be disinfected and if you selected Perform the
recommended action as the action to be performed upon a detection of a
dangerous object, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will not delete the archive and will only
enter information about its detection in the report.
If you selected Prompt user for action once the scan is completed or Prompt
user for action during the scan (see section 5.3.3.2 on page 80) as the action
to be performed in the scan settings, you can delete the archive that can not be
disinfected by selecting the Delete action in the dialog box with the prompt.
Alternatively, you can delete this archive manually.
