Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.0 SOS is intended to scan the computer on demand of the user/administrator for infected objects to further disinfect/delete these objects. The main difference of the application from Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.0 for Windows Workstations is that Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.0 SOS does not include components responsible for the real-time protection.

This application does not include components responsible for the real-time protection which allows to avoid conflicts when running simultaneously with the main anti-virus you are using. Co-use of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.0 SOS with anti-virus software of another vendor increases the level of your computer protection.
