KASPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS
Kaspersky Anti-Virus protects servers running on Microsoft® Windows® operating systems and network storages against
viruses and other computer security threats to which servers are exposed through file exchange. Kaspersky Anti-Virus is
designed for use on local area networks of medium to large organizations. Kaspersky Anti-Virus users are corporate
network administrators and specialists responsible for anti-virus protection of the corporate network.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus can be installed on servers in the following roles:
Terminal servers
Print servers
Application servers
Domain controllers
Network storage servers
File servers – these servers are more likely to get infected because they exchange files with user workstations.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus can be managed in the following ways:
Via Kaspersky Anti-Virus Console installed on the same server with Kaspersky Anti-Virus or on a different
computer
Using commands in the command line
Via Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center.
The Kaspersky Security Center application can also be used for centralized administration of multiple servers running
Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
It is possible to review Kaspersky Anti-Virus performance counters for the "System Monitor" application, as well as
SNMP counters and traps.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus components and features
The application includes the following components:
Real-time protection of files
Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans objects when they are accessed. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans the following objects:
files;
alternate file system threads (NTFS threads);
master boot record and boot sectors on the local hard drives and removable media.
Script scanning
Kaspersky Anti-Virus controls the execution of scripts created using Microsoft Windows Script Technologies (or
Active Scripting), for example, VBScript or JScript®. Kaspersky Anti-Virus allows script execution only if this
script has been found to be safe. Kaspersky Anti-Virus blocks the execution of a script that has been found to
be dangerous. If Kaspersky Anti-Virus finds a script to be potentially dangerous, it performs the action you have
specified: blocks or allows script execution.

Network storage protection
Kaspersky Anti-Virus installed on a server under a Microsoft Windows operating system protects network
storage systems against viruses and other security threats that infiltrate the server through the exchange of
files.
On-demand scan
Kaspersky Anti-Virus runs a single scan of the specified area for viruses and other computer security threats.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans server files and RAM and also startup objects.
The following functions are implemented in the application:
Updating databases and application software modules
Kaspersky Anti-Virus downloads updates of application databases and modules from FTP or HTTP update
servers of Kaspersky Lab, Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server, or other update sources.
Quarantine
Kaspersky Anti-Virus quarantines probably infected objects by moving such objects from their original location
to the Quarantine storage. Objects are stored in the Quarantine storage in encrypted form for security
considerations.
Backup
Kaspersky Anti-Virus stores encrypted copies of objects classified as Infected or Probably infected in Backup
before disinfecting or deleting them.
Administrator and user notifications
You can configure the application to notify the administrator and users who access the protected server about
events in Kaspersky Anti-Virus operation and the status of Anti-Virus protection on the server.
