2.2. Basic concepts and operation
scheme of the application
The antiviral protection system is based on creation of
tasks
, which maximize the
basic functionality of the application.
A
task
is a specific action performed by the application. Tasks are divided into
several
types
according to their function. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.6 for Novell
NetWare uses three types of task:
•
Real-time protection
•
Scan on-demand
•
Anti-virus database updating
The tasks can be started according to a schedule, manually, or upon an
application event. Each task has a corresponding set of parameters that specify
how the application will work when running this task.
The set of application parameters common for all its task types makes up the
application settings
. The application parameters specific to each type of task
make up task settings.
Because of the distributed architecture of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.6 for Novell
NetWare, obtaining access to its anti-virus functionality requires starting its
server part –
Kaspersky Anti-Virus
or
Anti-virus database updating
module –
to carry out the update. This can be started using the Snapin for Novell
ConsoleOne or the web module (see section 4.4 on page 25).
In order to initiate execution of the required function, the user must set the
application parameters (see section 4.5 on page 29), create the respective task
(see section 5.1 on page 32 and section 6.1 on page 44), set its generic
parameters (see section 5.2 on page 33 and section 6.2 on page 46) and run this
task (see section 5.4 on page 40 and section 6.4 on page 51). If the scheduled
start mode or start on event mode is selected, the task is launched automatically.
