Antivirus Overview

Antivirus (KAV) provides Kaspersky Antivirus endpoint security for managed machines. Antivirus can be installed independently of Endpoint Security or Anti-Malware.

Antivirus ensures protection of your computer against known and new threats. Each type of threat is processed by separate application components, each of which can be enabled or disabled by configuration profile. Configuration profiles enable you to quickly apply different types of Antivirus solutions to many machines at the same time.

Antivirus includes the following protection tools:

Memory-resident protection components for...
- Files and personal data
- System
- Network activity
Scheduled, recurring virus scans of individual files, folders, drives, areas or the entire computer.
Updates of the Antivirus clients and its components, as well as the Antivirus definition databases used to scan for malicious programs.
Status dashboard for all Antivirus managed machines.
A Detections page for all virus threats not automatically resolved by Antivirus.
