Description

Scan archives

Scan ZIP, GZIP, BZIP, RAR, TAR, ARJ, CAB, LHA, JAR, ICE and other archives. The application scans archives not only by their extension, but by their format as well. When checking archives, the application performs a recursive unpacking. This allows to detect threats inside multi-level archives (archive within an archive).

Scan distribution packages

The check box enables/disables the scanning of third-party distribution packages.

Scan files in Microsoft Office formats

Scans Microsoft Office files (DOC, DOCX, XLS, PPT and other Microsoft extensions). Office format files also include OLE objects. The Kaspersky application scans office format files that are smaller than 1 MB, regardless of whether the check box is selected or not.

Do not unpack large compound files

Maximum file size

If the check box is selected, the application does not scan compound files that are larger than the specified value.

If this check box is cleared, the application scans compound files of all sizes.

The application scans large files that are extracted from archives regardless of whether the check box is selected or not.
