CHAPTER 1. KASPERSKY ANTI-
VIRUSFOR WORKSTATION
Attention! New viruses appear every day, therefore it is
important to keep this product upgraded by updating virus
databases every day (see detailed information below). Please
do not forget to update the anti-virus database upon product
installation!
The Kaspersky Anti-VirusTM for Workstation software package is designed to
protect a computer running the Windows operating system against viruses.
The following software products are included in the package:
•Kaspersky Anti-Virus Scanner is an anti-virus program that checks for
viruses and deletes them on demand. The program searches for and
removes viruses from files, boot sectors and RAM. It is able to detect (but
cannot delete!) viruses in archived files and local mailboxes of the most
commonly used mail systems.
•Kaspersky Anti-Virus Monitor is a resident virus-detection monitor
that checks files that are started and opened.
Note that Kaspersky Anti-Virus Monitor is able to remove
viruses from ZIP archives!
•Kaspersky Anti-Virus Updater is a virus-definition database-updating
utility. When searching for viruses, Kaspersky AV Scanner and Kaspersky
AV Monitor use this anti-virus (or virus-definition) database to identify
viruses detected. Kaspersky Labs updates these databases on a daily
basis by adding new virus details to them; database updates are placed
on Kaspersky Labs web sites and later retrieved by the updating utility.
•Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mail Checker is a program that provides anti-virus
security to the Microsoft Outlook 98/2000/XP users.
•Kaspersky Anti-Virus Script Checker is a program that protects
computers from script viruses and worms that are executed directly within
computer memory. When you run the Kaspersky Anti-Virus for
Workstation setup utility, the program is automatically added in your
operating system and later you will not have to start it manually.

9 Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Workstation
•Kaspersky Anti-Virus Rescue Disk is a program that allows a user to
create a set of rescue disks to restore the system in the aftermath of a
virus-attack
•Kaspersky Anti-Virus Control Centre is a shell program for the software
package components. The Kaspersky AV Control Centre allows a user to
manage installation and updating of the package components, schedule
required operations, launch anti-virus applications and review their
performance statistics.
•Kaspersky Anti-Virus Report Viewer is a program allowing a user to
display reports generated by the package components.
The Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Workstation software package allows checking for
viruses on local as well as on network drives. This check can be performed using
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Scanner and/or Kaspersky Anti-Virus Monitor.
By using Kaspersky Administration Kit, the remote administration program, a
network administrator can remotely manage components of the Kaspersky Anti-
Virus software package.
1.1. New features of version 4.5
The Kaspersky Anti-VirusTM for Workstation version described in this book has
the following new features:
•Enhanced speed of program operation;
•Cleaning ZIP-archives.
•An algorithm for checking attachments in both incoming and outgoing
messages has been empowered with the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mail
Checker utility to minimize computer resources used to check your mail
for viruses.

screen. Press Yes to remove the files.

CHAPTER 3. KASPERSKY ANTI-
VIRUS SCANNER
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Scanner (Kaspersky AV Scanner) is an anti-virus program
that checks for viruses and deletes them on demand.
The program performs the following functions:
•Detects and deletes viruses of all types in files located on user-predefined
disks, in boot sectors and RAM
•Detects and deletes viruses from files that have been packed using
PKLITE, LZEXE, DIET, COM2EXE and other compression utilities
•Detects viruses (but doesn’t delete) in archived files that have been
archived using one of the commonly used archivers, including ZIP, ARJ,
LHA, RAR, etc.
•Detects viruses (but doesn’t delete) in local mailboxes of the most
commonly used mail systems: Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange,
Microsoft Internet Mail, Eudora Pro & Lite, Pegasus Mail, Netscape
Navigator Mail, JSMail SMTP/POP3 server.
•Detects and deletes viruses from the MS Outlook Express v. 5.0 (and
later) mail databases.
•Utilizes an improved heuristic detection tool that is able to search for
unknown viruses (up to 92% effective).
3.1. Starting Kaspersky Anti-Virus
Scanner
You can start Kaspersky Anti-Virus Scanner from:
Option 1: The Windows main menu. To do this, press the Start button, point to
Programs, point to Kaspersky Anti-Virus and point and click Kaspersky
Anti-Virus Scanner. The program main window will appear on your screen
(see subchapter 3.2.2), and you will see the scanner icon in the system
tray. Right-click this icon to display the scanner system menu (see
subchapter 3.2.1).

19 Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Workstation
Option 2: Kaspersky AV Control Centre. To do this, you must first create the
appropriate task. This task can be started manually or scheduled to start
automatically.
Option 3: The command line. To do this, you must press the Start button in the
Windows taskbar, point and click Run, define the full path to the file
avp32.exe in the Run dialog box and press the OK button. For example,
С:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus
for Workstation\Avp32.exe.
If you decide to start your anti-virus scanner from the command line, you can use
one of the following available switches:
[/?] or [/H] – displays the complete list of available command line switches;
[/P=filename] – starts Kaspersky AV Scanner with settings from the defined file;
[/S] – sets Kaspersky AV Scanner to check for viruses right after the program is
started;
[/W] – sets Kaspersky AV Scanner to create a report file;
[/N] – minimizes the Kaspersky AV Scanner main window once the program is
started;
[/Q] – sets Kaspersky AV Scanner to close the main window once the scanning
operation is complete;
[/D] – does not launch Kaspersky AV Scanner from being started, if the data
volumes have already been successfully checked that day (that is, if
Kaspersky AV Scanner has already scanned the drives and the operation
was not aborted and no viruses were detected);
[/@[!]=filename] – sets Kaspersky AV Scanner to scan for viruses in those files
and/or folders listed in the defined file. The file defined by this switch must
be in common text format (ASCII) and must contain a list of files and/or
folders intended for scanning. Every line of the list should contain only one
file or folder name (with a complete path indicated). If there is the character
"!" in the switch (i.e. /@!=filename), the defined file will be deleted once the
scanning operation is complete. If the character "!" is not used (i.e.
/@=filename), this file won’t be deleted;
[/redundant] – enables the redundant scan tool (for details refer to subchapter
A.2). Redundant scanning is recommended if no virus was detected during
an ordinary scan but the system is still behaving strangely (for example,
there are frequent instances where the computer restarts by itself,
unnaturally slow performance of applications, and so on). Otherwise, we do
not recommend enabling the redundant scan tool as it noticeably slows
down the scanning rate;

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Scanner 20
[/virlist=filename] – creates a file with the defined name that will contain the list
of viruses currently detectable by Kaspersky AV Scanner.
[filename and foldername] – sets Kaspersky AV Scanner to scan for viruses in
those files or folders. If a file name or a folder name have spaces, they must
be enclosed in quotation marks. The *or ?symbols cannot be used in file
names, i. e., the *.exe or av?32.exe names cannot be written.
If a folder or a file name with a list of files (/@=file_list.lst) is indicated
in a command line, scanning starts automatically without the /S key.
[/EL] excludes from the check the objects indicated in the file_name file of the
[/@[!]=filename] parameter.
[/EF] – sets Kaspersky AV Scanner to ignore those files defined in the command
line. The switch /EF can be also used in a file defined by the switch
/@=filename (see above). In this case the object (file or folder) listed
together with the switch /EF will be ignored by Kaspersky AV Scanner. If the
name of the listed file contains spaces, the switch /EF must precede the
filename (the switch can follow the filename, but in this case the filename
must be enclosed with quotation marks). If the name of the listed file doesn’t
contain spaces, the switch /EF can be positioned anywhere in the line.
By using combinations of the switches /EF, /EL, /@ and the list of files
and folders in the command line you can define various locations to be
checked.
Let's consider some examples of switch applications:
Example 1. Starting the program preset to check for viruses in files
within the My documents folder.
С:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus
for Workstation\Avp32.exe" /S "C:\My documents"
Example 2. Starting the program preset to create a list of detectable
viruses in the file E:\virlist.txt and to close the main window once the
scanning operation is complete.
С:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus
for Workstation\Avp32.exe" /virlist=E:\virlist.txt /q
Example 3. Starting the program preset to check for viruses right after it
is started, if Kaspersky AV Scanner has not scanned for viruses that
day or if it has but the scanning operation was aborted or viruses were
detected. The program is also set to close the main window once the
scanning operation is complete.
