If anti-virus replication protection is enabled, Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans the content of the Rich Text and MIME fields in the modified document, attached files in any format, and embedded OLE objects by default. 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 replication 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 Replication protection / General.
- In the Object protection section, select the objects to scan. To do so, select the following check boxes:
- Attachments. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans all files attached to the document.
- OLE objects. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans all OLE objects embedded in the document.
- RTF and MIME fields. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans document fields in Rich Text and MIME format.
If the check box is not selected, the relevant objects are not scanned.
- In the action panel, click the Apply button to save the changes. To restore the default settings, click the Restore defaults button.
