- 1. What is Kaspersky Anti-Virus ScriptChecker?
- ==============================
-
- Kaspersky Anti-Virus ScriptChecker is an anti-virus program that provides ultimate
- protection for your computer against script viruses and worms based on
- "LoveLetter" Internet worm. Kaspersky Anti-Virus ScriptChecker detects and stops any kind
- of script worms that use mail service(s) to spread themselves.
-
- 2. How the program works
- ========================
-
- The applications that use "Microsoft Windows Script Host" (Microsoft
- Explorer, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Outlook e.t.c.) send
- script bodies (VB script, Java script, e.t.c.) to "Script Hosting" to
- process and execute them. Before these scripts are executed, Kaspersky Anti-Virus
- Script Checker scans them with heuristic engine and also transfers them for
- Kaspersky Anti-Virus Monitor to check script bodies for known viruses (in case
- Kaspersky Anti-Virus Monitor is installed and switched on). In case a virus or worm
- is detected, or the suspicious code is found in script body, a user will be informed with
- warning message and the script execution will be terminated. Kaspersky Anti-Virus
- ScriptChecker has no configuration settings. To check its functionality
- you may use EICAR.HTML file included in the setup package. If you open the file
- in your browser program Kaspersky Anti-Virus ScriptChecker shows the warning message.
-
- 3. Virus Definitions
- ====================
- Kaspersky Anti-Virus ScriptChecker does not use KAV anti-virus database. It detects
- script worms by heuristic engine. In order to keep your defence at the highest
- level install Kaspersky Anti-Virus Monitor and do not forget to download the latest
- virus definitions from Kaspersky Lab's WWW (http://www.kaspersky.com) or FTP site
- (ftp://ftp.avp.ru).
