CHAPTER 4. POST-
INSTALLATION
APPLICATION
CONFIGURATION
The installation process includes the analysis of the system on which Kaspersky
Anti-Virus is installed and some settings of its configuration are determined
automatically. Besides, some settings of the application's configuration file are
configured by default to provide most convenient mode of the Anti-Virus
operation (see section 4.2 on page 24).
Provided below is a discussion of the default Kaspersky Anti-Virus settings and
the settings that the administrator is recommended to select before using the
application.
4.1. Default application
configuration
All settings that define the functioning of Kaspersky Anti-Virus are stored in the
kav4fs.conf configuration file used by default.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus configuration is as follows:
•
Once the operating system is started, Kaspersky Anti-Virus starts up
automatically. The application intercepts all calls to the file system and
analyzes them. Once infected, suspicious or corrupted objects have been
detected, Kaspersky Anti-Virus prints out the corresponding messages
into the kavmonitor.log report file.
•
When an on-demand scan is started without using any additional
command line modifiers, the anti-virus scan of the computer's folders and
file systems will be performed starting with the current folder. Messages
with the results of the scan will be printed to the screen and into the
kavscanner.log report file.
Note that by default infected objects are not disinfected or quarantined!
