About Kaspersky

Russel245

Another question for you tonight.

A version of Kaspersky on my mum's computer has detected a virus.

It shows up in all viruses, however does not show up in active threats, quarantined or deleted sections.

Has it just found a virus which has then moved itself and now escaped the notice of the AV? Or is it unlikely to cause any issues?


TBH I plan to move to ESET security on that machine when the renewal comes up but in the mean time what are your thoughts.

(Can provide a hijack this if needed)

What is location path of virus?

Russel245

There was/is none

If it were on your pc, it's location would be c:\..., d:\... or whatever hard drive the file was located on.Looks like Kaspersky automatically blocked it from downloading so there's nothing to delete, quarantine etc.
Job done.

ahh ok, so that's what it means.

Was just worried that it had flagged a virus and couldn't tell me what it had done with it.

said it blocks it before it downloads

I had the same worry when I first got kaspersky Then I realised it had dealt with the virus before informing me
