Task Window

The Task window contains the following task data, which are required when it is created or edited:

Type of task – name of the type of tasks which may be selected from the opened list, and which contains:

o	Start task – start checking all disks on your computer with Kaspersky Anti-Virus Lite.

o	Start updating utility – start updating the anti-virus databases.

Fig. 1. Task settings

Scanner Task is suggested by default. In this case, the program scans all disks on your computer. In the event the device is not ready for checking, the program does not post a warning to the screen, but simply does not scan the disk. In the course of checking, Kaspersky Anti-Virus Lite will try to cure all infected objects, and if they cannot be cured, information about them will be filed in the report on check results. We therefore strongly recommend that you review the report after checking by pressing the Report button.

Name – task name. It is necessary to assign the task a name, otherwise it will not be setup. If the task name consists of several words, you must insert the symbol “_” between each word.

Frequency – how often the task is to be performed. The value of this setting is specified with the aid of the drop-down list box, containing the following values:

o	Without schedule – do not fulfill this task.

This type of task performance frequency is set by default. It is useful to assign Without schedule when you want to halt the performance of a task for a period of time. When the need for this task arises it is sufficient to set the required frequency, without the need to create the task anew.

o	Monthly – performance of the task once a month. On selecting this frequency, you need to set values for the settings Date of month and Time (for more details see below).

o	Weekly – performance of the task once a week. On selecting this frequency, you need to set values for the settings Day of week and Time (for more details see below).

o	Daily – performance of the task every day. On selecting this type of frequency, you need to specify a value for the Time setting (for more details see below).

Time – time of day, when it is necessary to start performance of the task. Editing of time is carried out using the [image]. arrows. For example, to correct the time from 16:20 to 19:00, it is first necessary to select the number of hours and increase them to 19, and then select the number of minutes and reduce them to 00.

Day – name of the day of the week, when the task is to be started. You may set the value of this setting by using the drop-down list box, which is accessible only if weekly performance of the task has been selected.

Date – the day of the month, when the task is to be performed. You may specify the value of the setting using the drop-down list box, which is accessible only if monthly performance of the task has been selected.

 Priority for processing command line switches

There is a priority for processing command line switches. In this case priority should be understood as "preference" for processing of specific switches by program.

Figure shows the scheme of switch priorities with respect to one another.

Command line switch priority hierarchy

Thus, the highest priority belongs to switch –?, irrespective of the fact which switches are in the command line. If the line contains this switch then all other switches will be disregarded by program, and the list of switches will be displayed on the monitor.

Any switch whose name includes cure, has a higher processing priority than a switch that includes detect, i.e.

The second switch in terms of priority is the –cure_task: "path to file" switch, that is, if in the command line there is:

– cure_task: "path to file" –detect_task: "path to file"
–detect: "area" –cure: "area",

then during processing of the command line the program will disregard all switches, except for –cure_task: "path to file".

The third level of processing priority belongs to the switch: –detect_task: "path to file", that is, if in the command line there is:

–detect_task: "path to file" –detect: "area" –cure: "area",

then during processing of the command line the program will disregard all switches except for –detect_task: "path to file".

The fourth level of priority belongs simultaneously to all switches:
 –cure: "area" and –cure: "all". If both of these switches are present in the command line the program will check and cure the specified area, and then to check all the computer disks. If in the command line there is:

–detect: "area" –cure: "area",

then the switch –detect: "area" will be disregarded by the program because it has a lower level of processing priority.

At the fifth level there are also 2 switches: –detect: "area" and
–detect: all. The rules for their joint processing in the command line are similar to those described for the fourth level. The single switch that can be disregarded by program when processing a command line with such switches  is the switch – minimized, as it has the lowest processing priority level. Therefore this switch is not used together with other switches.

The switches –auto: report, –auto: delete, –delete_task_file and
-preprocess: on(off) are additional switches (see scheme); they will be processed by the program if one of the primary switches, to which they refer, is specified.

The switch –delete_task_file is used only as an addition to the switches: –cure_task: "path to file" and –delete_task: "path to file".

Switches–auto: report, –auto: delete, are used with the switches –cure: and -detect:. They also have a priority, and specifically the switch –auto: report has a higher processing priority than –auto: delete.

The switches -preprocess: on(off) can be used as additions to other primary switches, except for –?.

Increased functionality of operation with report: you can search the information in report and the save results in a file.

Ability to check memory, boot sectors and files opened during operating system startup with command line switches operating has been added.

Integration of Kaspersky Anti-Virus Lite with Windows Explorer.


What is monitoring mode

MONITORING is an operating mode of Kaspersky Ant-virus Lite during which the program is permanently in the random access memory of the computer and monitors access to files on the removable and hard disks of the computer, and files opened for execution, writing or reading.

Before the program permits access to an object it checks it for viruses and, if an infected object is found, it will issue a request for its processing (curing, deletion or recording of information to the report).

In the event the user selects the curing mode for an infected object, but it is impossible to cure it (for example, the virus has irreversibly corrupted the file or the file is a Trojan program), the program will then suggest deleting it.

Thus, the monitoring mode of the program allows us to detect an infected file prior to use and, to prevent infection of the entire system, as well as blocking its harmful actions.

It is not necessary to set the program to monitoring as the program has previously installed settings which are the most suitable for most computers.

Note some specifics of program operation in monitoring mode:

During loading in monitoring mode the program scans boot sectors and random access memory.

During virus checking Kaspersky Anti-Virus Lite SCANS all files, including self-unpacking archives, nested objects, and DOES NOT SCAN all other types of archives and mail message database files in non-text formats.

All the operating results of Kaspersky Anti-Virus Lite are recorded in the report, the size of which is limited to 2048 Kb. If this size is exceeded the report file will be cleaned, and new information will be recorded to the beginning of the report.
