5.2.4. Scan of archives
Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans archives in the on-demand mode at the
Maximum
protection
and
Recommended
protection levels, provided that no exclusions
are set (for more information, please contact your security administrator).
Please note that Kaspersky Anti-Virus does not disinfect multivolume
archives. When such objects are detected, it will display a window with
a
Skip
recommended action command.
If an archive is password protected, the program will ask for the password before
scanning objects in the archive (see Figure 8).
Figure 8. Entering a password to scan a protected archive
In the
Enter password
entry field, enter the password for the objects in archive
being scanned and click
ОК
. The program will continue scanning the archive and
objects in it after the password has been entered.
To scan another password-protected archive, Kaspersky Anti-Virus automatically
applies the password for the objects in the first archive to the second archive to
be scanned. If the password is wrong, you will be asked to enter a new
password.
If you do not know the password, the program will be unable to scan the
password-protected objects in the archive. We recommend that you click
Skip
and proceed with the scan.
Click the
Skip archive
button to skip all password-protected objects inside an
archive being scanned during the current scanning procedure. In doing so, all
other objects inside the archive which are not encrypted will be scanned and
processed in accordance with the settings defined for anti-virus scanning.
