In the Security level section, you can use the slider to select one of the three available sets of preconfigured Quick Scan settings (security levels) created by Kaspersky specialists. This security level is applied during a Quick Scan task regardless of the security level selected for scanning in general (in the Scan section of the Settings window).
You are advised to use this security level if there is a high chance of computer infection.
As opposed to the default scan settings, the quick scan settings of this security level cause Kaspersky Internet Security to scan all types of files. When scanning compound files, Kaspersky Internet Security also scans mail-format files.
This security level is suitable in most cases when a Quick Scan task is performed and is recommended by Kaspersky specialists.
This security level is the best option for handling applications with significant RAM requirements, because a smaller range of files is scanned when this level is selected.
As opposed to the default scan settings, the quick scan settings of this security level cause Kaspersky Internet Security to scan only new and changed files. If more than 180 seconds are required to scan a file, Kaspersky Internet Security excludes this file from scanning.
