The "Threats" tab
In the Categories of objects to detect section, you can configure the list of objects to be detected.
Viruses, worms, Trojans, malicious tools, adware, and auto-dialers
This category includes the following types of programs:
- All types of malware.
- Applications that show advertisements (such as banners) on your computer or replace the search results in your browser with advertising websites.
- Applications that establish phone connections through a computer's modem.
Kaspersky Internet Security always controls programs of this type.
This checkbox is always selected and can't be unselected.
Legitimate software that can be used by intruders to damage your computer or personal data
This checkbox enables/disables control of legitimate applications that may be exploited by an intruder to harm the user's computer or data, such as remote administration applications.
This checkbox is unselected by default.
In the Quarantine section, you can specify the maximum storage period for objects in Quarantine.
Delete quarantined objects after <number> days
This checkbox enables/disables deletion of objects from Quarantine after the specified storage period expires.
If the checkbox is selected, the application deletes objects from Quarantine after the length of time specified in the number field next to the checkbox. If the checkbox is unselected, objects are stored in Quarantine indefinitely.
By default, this checkbox is selected, and objects are stored in Quarantine for 30 days.
In the Exclusions section, you can create a list of files, folders, and websites that you trust and do not want to scan for viruses.
