During the scan Kaspersky Anti-Virus searches for infected files and malware. There are several types of scans that vary in their search duration and scope.
Full Scan. Scans all areas of the computer. This scan requires a lot of time to complete.
Quick Scan. Scans objects that are loaded when the operating system starts as well as system memory and boot files. This scan does not require a lot of time to complete.
Selective Scan. Scans the selected file or folder.
External Device Scan. This option scans external devices that are connected to the computer.
Scan from Context Menu. This option scans files from the context menu.
Idle Scan. Background scan that is executed when the computer remains idle for five or more minutes.
Vulnerability Scan. It scans the computer for vulnerabilities that malware could exploit to infect your system.
After you install Kaspersky Anti-Virus, we recommend that you perform a full scan of your computer.
