Does scanning password protected files remove the password?

[Guest]

If you scan a password protected file using Kaspersky and put the right password in does it put the password in for the file thus removing the users need to put a password in.

For example, if you have a password protected file - normally you can’t open it until you put in a password. If you scan with Kaspersky will you be able to open the file without putting a password in since you put the password into the kaspersky scan thing?

Yeah but does that remove the password on the archive by putting it in or only used it for scanning purposes.

Hello @Xeno2ig, 

Thank you for the extra question!

Scan password-protected archives

If the check box is selected, the application scans password-protected archives. Before files contained in the archive can be scanned, a request for password will be displayed on the screen.

--------------------

The password authorisation is entered for password protected archives *only*. 

Entering the password does not *remove* the password - leaving the archive(s) *unprotected*, it simply gives permission to the Kaspersky application to access the archive(s) for the purposes of scanning. 

Thank you🙏
