Beta-testing 'Anti-Virus for Windows Desk-tops'.

Kaspersky Labs,is beta-testing a new anti-virus security system specially developed for computers working under Windows called: 'Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Desktops'. The program package offers a range of functions, providing complete anti-virus protection for personal computers. The solution intercepts all possible sources of virus infection -portable and fixed data carriers, electronic mail and Internet protocols. The program can function in two modes. The first mode provides constant active protection, when all data executed, opened or saved is checked. The second mode is activated either automatically or on user request. In this case, the computer as a whole is scanned, and suspicious objects neutralized, with individual elements ranging from portable data carriers to individual files and directories also being scanned.

When a suspicious object is detected, the user can move it to a special 'quarantine' folder. Files placed in quarantine can be treated, or deleted, the original data tan be retrieved in the source directory or sent to Kaspersky Labs for analysis. In addition to the above, it is possible to create a backup copy of any file before processing any infected or suspicious object for easy subsequent retrieval of data.

All statistical data is clearly presented in a detailed log. The log presents the results of the scan including information on the number of objects scanned, the order in which they were scanned, the way in which each individual object scanned was dealt with.

The beta testing version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Desktops includes a built-in utility which automatically detects and describes all failures which occur during program use. This auxiliary program, specially included for ease of beta testing, allows all parameters of the computer on which testing is carried out to be entered into a special register, and includes a special system for the description of program deficiencies.
