If mail anti-virus protection is enabled, Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans the body of the message, all file attachments in any format and embedded OLE objects. You can disable scanning of the listed objects as required.
When scanning multi-volume archives, Kaspersky Anti-Virus processes each of them as a separate object. Malicious code can be detected only if it is wholly contained in one of these volumes. If code is divided into parts across several volumes, it cannot be detected during scanning. Therefore, it is recommended that multi-volume archives be scanned after being saved on the hard drive by the Anti-Virus application on the computer.
To select mail protection objects:
- Select the profile whose settings you want to edit.
- In the action panel click the Modify button and in the control panel select the Mail protection tab.
- On the General tab in the Object protection section, select the objects to scan by selecting the following check boxes:
- Attachments. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans all files attached to the message.
- OLE objects. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans all OLE objects embedded in the message.
- Message text. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans the body of the email message.
If a check box is not selected, the relevant objects will not be scanned.
- In the action panel, click the Apply button to save the changes. To restore the default settings, click the Restore defaults button.
