About Scanner (Anti-Virus)

Scanner (Anti-Virus) detects and neutralizes threats on your device.

The component is called Scanner in the free version of the app and Anti-Virus in the premium version.

Scanner performs the following functions:

  • Scan. Launches on-demand scanning of the entire file system, installed apps only, or a selected file or folder.
  • Update. Downloads updated anti-virus databases used to detect threats. Update ensures up-to-date protection of the device.
  • Quarantine. Stores detected threats in compressed format.

Anti-Virus supports the full Scanner functionality while also providing protection in real time. To provide protection in real time, Anti-Virus uses anti-virus databases and the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service.
