2.2. Basic concepts and operation
scheme of the application
The antiviral protection system is based on creation of tasks, which maximize the
basic functionality of the application.
A task is a specific action performed by the application. Tasks are divided into
several types according to their function. Kaspersky Anti-Virus uses three types
of task:
•
Real-time protection
•
Scan on-demand
•
Anti-virus database updating
The tasks can be started according to a schedule, manually, or upon an
application event. Each task has a corresponding set of parameters that specify
how the application will work when running this task.
The set of application parameters common for all its task types makes up the
application settings. The application parameters specific to each type of task
make up task settings.
Because of the distributed architecture of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, obtaining access
to its anti-virus functionality requires starting its server part – Kaspersky Anti-
Virus or Anti-virus database updating module – to carry out the update.
Updating can be started using the Snapin for Novell ConsoleOne, the web
module (see section 4.4 on page 30), or the Kaspersky Administration Kit
management module.
In order to initiate execution of the required function, the user must set the
application parameters (see section 4.5 on page 33), create the respective task
(see section 5.1 on page 37 and section 6.1 on page 49), set its generic
parameters (see section 5.2 on page 38 and section 6.2 on page 51) and run this
task (see section 5.4 on page 46 and section 6.4 on page 57). If the scheduled
start mode or start on event mode is selected, the task is launched automatically.
Access to the application administrative functions, and creation and running of
the tasks is granted to the users2 who possess administrator rights. The user
rights are checked based on their authentication in the Novell Netware network.
