Depending on the user's file priorities and time willing to spend looking for malware, Kaspersky puts at their disposal four scan types, namely full, quick, custom and removable drive mode, in addition to the contextual scan that permits users to rapidly verify any file, folder or drive via Windows Explorer's right-click menu.
Those who are not satisfied with the app's factory settings are free to make modifications when it comes to the security level, automatic action on threat detection, removable drives scan mode on connection, scan scope, administrative or other user accounts, and task scheduling if necessary.
Additional options focus on types of detected objects, exclusion rules, trusted applications, self-defense mechanism (block any attempts to modify or delete Kaspersky Anti-Virus files, memory processes and registry entries), software compatibility (to run Kaspersky smoothly alongside other apps and avoid conflicts), monitored ports, and encrypted connections.
