This section contains the description of the application's new features, and brief information on its components and
functionality. It reveals the function of the each part of the package supplied and a range of services available to
registered users of the application. The section contains hardware and software requirements which the computer should
meet to have Kaspersky Anti-Virus installed on it.

WHAT'S NEW

The following innovations have been introduced in Kaspersky Anti-Virus:

 New protection component of the System Watcher (see page 100) provides monitoring of applications activity in

the system and provides detailed information to other protection components. Due to the recoverable history of
the applications activity, the component can roll back results of a malicious application's actions when such
malicious actions are detected by various protection components.

 With the help of the Idle Scan (see page 110) module the computer may be scanned for viruses while you are

not working on it, then scanning will stop when you return to work. This allows you to perform a scan regularly
and at the same time prevents the reduction of the computer running speed when you need it.

 When Kaspersky Anti-Virus is installed on your computer, you can temporarily switch to Kaspersky Internet

Security to assess its features. You can also purchase a license for further use of the application. You will not
have to install Kaspersky Internet Security apart from Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

ENSURING YOUR COMPUTER PROTECTION

Kaspersky Anti-Virus provides comprehensive protection of your computer against known and unknown threats, network
and intruder attacks, spam and other unwanted information.

Every type of threat is handled by a separate security component (see the description of components further in this
section). Components can be enabled or disabled independently of one another and configured accordingly.

In addition to constant protection provided by the security components, we recommend regularly scanning your computer
for viruses. This is necessary in order to rule out the possibility of spreading malicious programs that have not been
discovered by security components, for example, because the security level was set to low or for other reasons.

To keep Kaspersky Anti-Virus up-to-date, you should update the databases and application modules used by the
application. The application is updated automatically by default. However, you can always update the bases and
software modules manually, if necessary.

U S E R G U I D E

22

Certain specific tasks that need to be performed occasionally can be performed with the help of advanced tools and
wizards (see section "Additional tools for better protection of your computer" on page 115), such as configuring Microsoft
Internet Explorer or erasing the traces of user activity in the system.

Protection components

The following protection components provide protection for your computer in real time:

File Anti-Virus

File Anti-Virus prevents infection of the computer's file system. The components starts at startup of the operating
system, continuously remains in the computer's RAM, and scans all files being opened, saved, or launched on your
computer and all connected drives. Kaspersky Anti-Virus intercepts each attempt to access a file and scans the file
for known viruses. The file can only be processed further if the file is not infected or is successfully treated by the
application. If a file cannot be disinfected for any reason, it will be deleted. A copy of the file will be saved in the
backup, or moved to the quarantine.

Mail Anti-Virus

Mail Anti-Virus scans incoming and outgoing email messages on your computer. The email is available to the
addressee only if it does not contain dangerous objects.

Web Anti-Virus

Web Anti-Virus intercepts and blocks scripts on websites if they pose a threat. All HTTP traffic is also subject to a
thorough monitoring. Additionally, the component blocks access to malicious websites.

IM Anti-Virus

IM Anti-Virus ensures the safe use of Internet pagers. The component protects information that comes to your
computer via IM protocols. IM Anti-Virus ensures safe operation of various applications for instant messaging.

Proactive Defense

Proactive Defense allows detection of a new malicious program before it can perform its malicious activity. The
component's operation is based on monitoring and analyzing the behavior of all applications installed on your
computer. Depending on the actions being performed, Kaspersky Anti-Virus makes a decision whether each
application is potentially dangerous or not. So your computer is protected not only from known viruses, but from new
ones as well that have not yet been discovered.

Anti-Phishing

A component integrated in Web Anti-Virus and IM Anti-Virus, which allows checking web addresses if they are
included in the list of phishing and suspicious web addresses.

There are three groups of objects protected by the application components:

 Files, identity data, user names and passwords, information about banking cards, etc. These files are protected

by File Anti-Virus and Proactive Defense.

 Applications installed on your computer and operating system objects. These files are protected by Mail Anti-

Virus, Web Anti-Virus, IM Anti-Virus, and Proactive Defense.

 Online activity: using e-payment systems, email protection against spam and viruses etc. These files are

protected by Mail Anti-Virus, Web Anti-Virus, IM Anti-Virus, and Anti-Phishing.

Grouping of components depending on the objects that they protect is graphically illustrated in the Protection Center
section of the main application window (see section "Kaspersky Anti-Virus main window" on page 37).

activation. If you activate the application to protect a second and subsequent computers, the license validity period will
be reduced by the number of days that has passed from the date of the first activation. Therefore, the license term will
expire for all installed copies of the application simultaneously.

To install Kaspersky Anti-Virus on your computer,

run the setup file (a file with the *.exe extension) on the CD containing the product.

The process of installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus from an installation package downloaded from the Internet is identical to
that from the installation CD.

STEP 1. SEARCHING FOR A NEWER VERSION OF THE APPLICATION

Before setup, the installer checks Kaspersky Lab update servers for a newer version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

If it finds no newer product versions on the update servers of Kaspersky Lab, the setup wizard for the current version will
be started.

If the update servers offer a newer version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, you will see a prompt to download and install it on
the computer. If you cancel downloading the new version, the setup wizard for the current version will be started. If you
decide to install the newer version, product distribution files will be downloaded to your computer and the setup wizard
for that new version will be started automatically. For further description of the installation procedure for the newer
version please refer to its corresponding documentation.

STEP 2. MAKING SURE THE SYSTEM MEETS THE INSTALLATION

REQUIREMENTS

Before installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus on your computer, the installer checks the operating system and service packs to
make sure they meet the software requirements for product installation (see section "Hardware and software
requirements" on page 24). In addition, the installer checks the presence of required software and the credentials
necessary to install applications.

If any condition is not observed, a corresponding notification will be displayed. In that case you are advised to install the
required software and use the Windows Update service to download and apply the necessary service packs before
installing the product of Kaspersky Lab.

At this step, the application searches for Kaspersky Lab applications that may lead to conflicts when used together with
Kaspersky Anti-Virus. If such applications are found, you are offered to remove them manually.

I N S T A L L I N G T H E A P P L I C A T I O N

27

If an earlier version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus or Kaspersky Internet Security is found, all data that can be used by
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 (activation information, application settings, etc.) will be saved and used when installing the
application.

STEP 3. CHOOSING THE TYPE OF INSTALLATION

At this stage, you can select the most suitable way of installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus:

 Standard installation. If you choose this option (the Change installation settings box is unchecked), the

application will be fully installed on your computer with protection settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab
experts.

 Custom installation. In this case (the Change installation settings box is checked) you will be offered to

specify the destination folder to install the application to (see section "Step 7. Selecting the destination folder"
on page 28), and disable the installation process protection, if required (see section "Step 8. Preparing
installation" on page 28).

To proceed with the installation, click Next.

STEP 4. REVIEWING THE LICENSE AGREEMENT

At this stage you should review the license agreement made between you and Kaspersky Lab.

Read the agreement carefully and signify your consent by clicking the I Agree button. The installation will continue.

To cancel the installation, click the Cancel button.

STEP 5. KASPERSKY SECURITY NETWORK DATA COLLECTION STATEMENT

At this stage you will be offered to participate in Kaspersky Security Network. Participation in the program involves
sending information about new threats detected on your computer, running applications, and downloaded signed
applications to Kaspersky Lab, along with the unique ID assigned to your copy of Kaspersky Anti-Virus and your system
information. We guarantee that none of your personal data will be sent.

Review the text of the Kaspersky Security Network Data Collection Statement. If you agree with all points of the
statement, check the box I accept the terms of participation in Kaspersky Security Network.

Click the Next button if you carry out the custom installation (see section "Step 3. Choosing the type of installation" on
page 27). When carrying out the standard installation, click the Install button. Installation will continue.

STEP 6. SEARCHING FOR INCOMPATIBLE APPLICATIONS

At this step, the applications checks if any applications incompatible with Kaspersky Anti-Virus are installed on your
computer.

If no such applications are found, the Wizard automatically proceeds to the next step.

If any incompatible applications are detected, they are displayed in a list on the screen, and you are offered to remove
them automatically or manually. While removing incompatible applications, you will need to reboot your operating
system, after which installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus will continue automatically.

To proceed with the installation, click Next.

STEP 7. SELECTING THE DESTINATION FOLDER

This step of the Installation Wizard is only available if the custom installation is selected. (see section "Step 3. Choosing
the type of installation" on page 27). In standard installation, this step is omitted and the application is installed to the
default folder.

At this stage, you are offered to select the folder into which Kaspersky Anti-Virus should be installed. The following path
is set by default:

 <disk> \ Program Files \ Kaspersky Lab \ Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 – for 32-bit systems;

 <disk> \ Program Files (x86) \ Kaspersky Lab \ Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 – for 64-bit systems.

To install Kaspersky Anti-Virus into a different folder, specify the path to it in the entry field, or click the Browse button
and select a folder in the window that opens.

The path to the installation folder cannot be longer than 200 characters or contain special characters \, /, ?, :, *, ", >, <
and |.

To find out if there is enough disk space on your computer to install the application, click the Disk button. In the window
that opens you can view the disk space information. To close the window, click OK.

To proceed with the installation, click Next in the wizard window.

STEP 8. PREPARING INSTALLATION

This step of the Installation Wizard is only available if the custom installation is selected. (see section "Step 3. Choosing
the type of installation" on page 27). In standard installation, this step is skipped.

Since your computer may be infected with malicious programs that may impact installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, the
installation process should be protected.

By default, installation process protection is enabled – the Protect the installation process box is checked in the
Wizard window.

You are advised to uncheck this box if the application cannot be installed (for example, when performing remote
installation using Windows Remote Desktop). Enabled protection may be the reason.

In this case, you should interrupt installation, restart it, check the Change installation settings box at the Choosing the
type of installation step (see section "Step 3. Choosing the type of installation" on page 27), and, when reaching the
Preparing installation step, uncheck the Protect the installation process box.

To proceed with the installation, click Install.

When installing the application on a computer running under Microsoft Windows XP, active network connections are
terminated. The majority of terminated connections is restored after a pause.

STEP 9. INSTALLING

Installation of the application takes some time. Wait for it to complete.

Once the installation is complete, the Wizard will proceed automatically to the next step.

I N S T A L L I N G T H E A P P L I C A T I O N

29

If an installation error occurs, being caused by malicious programs that prevent anti-virus applications from being
installed on your computer, the Installation Wizard offers you to download a special tool for neutralizing infection named
Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool utility.

If you agree to install the utility tool, the Installation Wizard downloads it from Kaspersky Lab servers, after which
installation of the utility starts automatically. If the Wizard cannot download the utility, you will be offered to download it
on your own by clicking the link provided.

After you finish working with the utility, you should delete it and restart installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

STEP 10. ACTIVATING THE APPLICATION

Activation is a procedure of activating a license that allows you to use a fully functional version of the application until the
license expires.

You will need an Internet connection to activate the application.

You can select any of the following options when activating Kaspersky Anti-Virus:

 Activate commercial license. Select this option and enter the activation code (see section "About activation

code" on page 33) if you have purchased a commercial version of the application.

If you enter the activation code for Kaspersky Internet Security in the entry field, upon the completion of the
activation a procedure will start that allows to switch to Kaspersky Internet Security.

 Activate trial license. Use this activation option if you want to install the trial version of the application before

making the decision to purchase a commercial version. You will be able to use the fully-functional version of the
application for the duration of a term limited by the license for the trial version of the application. When the
license expires, it cannot be activated for a second time.

 Activate later. If you choose this option, the Kaspersky Anti-Virus activation stage is skipped. The application

will be installed on your computer with all of its functions, except updates, available. You will only be able to
update anti-virus databases and modules of Kaspersky Anti-Virus once after installation. The Activate later
option is only available at the first start of the Activation Wizard, immediately after installing the application.

If Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been installed and then removed with activation information saved, this step is skipped. In
this case the wizard will automatically retrieve information about the existing license and proceed to the final stage of
activation (see section "Step 12. Completing the activation" on page 30).

STEP 11. REGISTERING A USER

This step is only available when activation the commercial version of the application. When activating the trial version,
this step is skipped.

You need to register in order to be able to contact Kaspersky Lab Technical Support Service in the future. Unregistered
users receive only minimal support.

If you agree to register, specify your registration data in the corresponding fields and click the Next button.

STEP 12. COMPLETING THE ACTIVATION

The Wizard informs you that Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been successfully activated. Additionally, information about the
license is provided: license type (commercial or trial), date of expiry, and number of hosts for the license.

If you have activated the subscription, information about the subscription status (see section "Subscription statuses" on
page 137) is displayed instead of the license expiration date.

Click the Next button in order to continue the work of the Wizard.

STEP 13. CLOSING THE WIZARD

The last window of the Wizard informs you of the successful completion of application installation. To run Kaspersky Anti­Virus, make sure that the Run Kaspersky Anti-Virus box is checked, and click the Finish button.

In some cases, you may need to reboot your operating system. If the Run Kaspersky Anti-Virus box is checked, the
application will be automatically run after you reboot your operating system.

If you have unchecked the box before closing the Wizard, you should run the application manually (see section "Starting
and stopping the application manually" on page 42).

GETTING STARTED

The application is ready to be used after installation. To ensure proper protection of your computer, we recommend
performing the following immediately after installation and configuration:

 Update application databases (see section "How to update application databases" on page 50).

 Scan your computer for viruses (see section "viruses" on page 52) and vulnerabilities (see section "Scanning

computer for vulnerabilities" on page 52).

 Check the protection status of your computer (on page 43) and eliminate problems in protection if necessary

(see section "Diagnostics and elimination of problems in your computer protection" on page 43).

REMOVING THE APPLICATION

After Kaspersky Anti-Virus is uninstalled, your computer and personal data are unprotected.

You can uninstall Kaspersky Anti-Virus using the Installation Wizard.

To start the Wizard:

1. In the Start menu select Programs  Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011  Repair or Remove.

2. In the window that opens, click the Remove button.
