Incoming email only: only the incoming e-mails will be scanned.
Connectivity
POP3/SMTP/NNTP/IMAP traffic: KIS scans the e-mail messages at protocol level, before they are delivered to your computer. If this box is unchecked, then the e-mails will be scanned after they have been received.
ICQ/MSN traffic: checking/unchecking this box will enable/disable the scan of ICQ and Microsoft Messenger traffic.
Additional: Microsoft Office Outlook plug-in: enables/disables the plug-in for Microsoft Outlook e-mail client.
Additional: TheBat! plug-in: enables/disables the plug-in for TheBat! e-mail client.
If the plug-in integration is enabled, some additional program-specific options will be available. For instance, in Outlook (Tools -> Options -> Email protection) you can specify when the e-mails will be scanned, choosing between “Scan upon receiving”, “Scan when read”, “Scan upon sending”.
E-mail and IM Settings -> Performance tab
Scan methods
Heuristic analysis: enables/disables the heuristic analysis of e-mail messages. When the heuristic analysis is enabled, you can also set the level of analysis detail (Light scan, Medium scan, Deep scan). The deeper the detail is, the longer the time required to scan e-mails will be.
Scan of compound files
Skip attached archives: the archives attached to e-mail messages will not be scanned.
Do not process archives larger than…: if the size of the attached archive exceeds the specified limit, then the file will not be scanned.
E-mail and IM Settings -> Attachment filter tab
In order to prevent any attached files from automatically running on your computer, you can set appropriate filters so that certain attachment types are renamed or deleted.
Disable filtering: attachments will be delivered without any changes.
Rename selected attachment types: the checkmarked attachment types will be renamed (the file extension will be changed).
Delete selected attachment types: the checkmarked attachment types will be deleted.
You can add new attachment types by clicking on the Add new item link.
