    applicable to some types of malicious objects, for example, Trojan programs.

    In these cases, a special notification is displayed on the screen, which contains:

    Type of threat (for example, virus, Trojan horse) and the name of the malicious object as represented

    As a result of scanning, File Anti-Virus assigns one of the following statuses to found objects:

    • status of one of the malware (for example, virus, Trojan horse).
    • possibly infected, when as a result of the scan it is impossible to clearly determine whether an object is infected or not. This means that a code sequence of an unknown virus or a modified code of a known virus was detected in the file.

    If, as a result of scanning a file for viruses, Kaspersky Anti-Virus finds infected or possibly infected objects, further operations of File Anti-Virus depend on the status of the object and the selected action.

    By default, all infected files are disinfected, and all possibly infected files are quarantined.
