What is File Anti-Virus

File Anti-Virus is a protection component designed to secure your computer's file system. The component scans all open, launched or saved files on the computer, connected removable devices and network drives. File Anti-Virus checks all file events and scans files for threats presence.

Technologies used by File Anti-Virus

File Anti-Virus uses the following technologies in its work:

• signature analysis
• heuristic analysis
• iChecker and iSwift
• the KSN service

How File Anti-Virus works

A file scan process is performed according to the following algorithm:

• File Anti-Virus intercepts each access to a file by a user or an application.
• The component idenifies whether the file is needed to be scanned by checking data in iChecker and iSwift databases.
• If the file is scanned, File Anti-Virus scans the file for viruses presence based on signature and heuristic analysis.
• If a threat is detected, File Anti-Virus signs to the file one of the following statuses:
• A status of detected malware (virus, Trojan).
• The possibly infected status if it is impossible to identify whther the file is infected but the file is suspicious.
• The notification informing of detected threats appears on the screen (if notifications display is configured).
• If no threats are detected in the file, it will be accessible to work with.
