Anti-Virus

Anti-Virus protects your device from viruses and other malware. Anti-Virus includes the following functions: protection, scan, update, and quarantine.

Protection allows you to constantly monitor activity in the file system and also check new applications for the presence of malicious objects. If the Extended or Recommended protection mode is selected, then protection runs constantly in the background.

Scan allows you, on request, to launch a scan of the whole file system, RAM, or folders. You can launch a scan from the Kaspersky Tablet Security main window (Kaspersky Tablet Security main window > Anti-Virus > Scan) or configure the Anti-Virus settings to launch a scheduled scan automatically (Kaspersky Tablet Security main window > Anti-Virus > Settings > Scan > Schedule).

Update allows you to download new anti-virus databases and new versions of the application. Kaspersky Tablet Security uses anti-virus databases when searching for malware. As well as the anti-virus databases, Kaspersky Tablet Security allows you to update the application version. It is recommended to update the anti-virus databases and application version regularly, to ensure up-to-date protection for your data. You can launch an update from the Kaspersky Tablet Security main window (Kaspersky Tablet Security main window > Anti-Virus > Update) or configure the Anti-Virus settings to launch a scheduled update automatically (Kaspersky Tablet Security main window > Anti-Virus > Settings > Update > Schedule).

The application moves detected threats to Quarantine (a special, isolated depository). When in Quarantine, detected threats do not endanger the device.
