During scanning, the application searches for infected files and malware. There are several types of scans that vary in their search duration and scope.
- Full Scan. Scans all areas of the computer. This scan requires a lot of time to complete.
- Quick Scan. Scans objects that are loaded when the operating system starts as well as system memory and boot files. This scan does not require a lot of time to complete.
- Selective Scan. Scans the selected file or folder.
- Removable drives scan. Scan of removable drives, such as hard drives and USB sticks connected to the computer.
- Instant File Scan. This option scans files from the context menu.
- Background Scan. Scan of system memory, the system partition, boot sectors, and startup objects, as well as rootkits search.
This functionality is unavailable if Kaspersky Small Office Security is installed on a file server.
- Application Vulnerability Scan. Scan the computer for vulnerabilities in applications that malware can exploit to infect your system.
After you install the application, we recommend that you perform a full scan of your computer.
