About our additional databases

Our standard antivirus solutions protect you from all viruses, Internet worms, Trojans and other malicious programs. However, there are other means for hackers, spammers and other cyber criminals to harm users.

Kaspersky Labs provides additional antivirus databases for special usage. We do recommend that you contact our technical support specialists before using these databases.

Additional databases

1. Extended database option
2. SuperSecure database option

These options are primarily for use by network administrators and experienced users. We do not recommend these options to beginners or inexperienced users. However, some of these databases will be included in a new version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus scheduled for release in April 2004.

These options include databases for detecting programs that are not malware but could potentially cause damage and are additions to the standard antivirus databases.

3. Cih-trac.avc

The Cih-trac.avc antivirus database is used for fixing Trojan.Flashkiller (the remains of the Win95.CIH virus), which could be found by the Scanner only in the mode of thorough scanning. Use it only in this case.
