Scan via context menu problem

[b1k3rdude]

So before I log a support ticket I thought I would askl here and see if there is something Im missing.

1. I download a file.
2. I right scan and scan the file.

But instead of scanning just that file KIS seem to be scanning a bunch of other files that arent the bloody file I clicked on. What the hello is KIS doing exactly.?

@b1k3rdudeWelcome back

When you right-click on a file and click to scan the file, Kaspersky performs a check within the file, which is why you see other small files that are "inside" the scanned file.

Please see this Kaspersky support article to learn more → How to run a Context Menu File or Folder Scan

Fair comment but no applicable -

I extracted the files from the executable (jre-8u401-windows-x64.exe). In this instabnce there was only 116 files inside the archive, but KIS had scanned over 35,000...

KIS is scanning other files or a location, that I do NOT need it to be scanning when Im doing a 'right click and scan' on a file I have downloaded.

I think this is common in Kaspersky scans for long years 🙂

 

Even having 1 file, when You scan on demand, sometimes Kaspersky scan different objects inside files and in the final stats results may show a bigger "in theory" numbers of files (objects) scanned, specially with packet files, installers, etc...

Yes exactly one file should have more files or processes inside which kaspersky deeply extract and scanned it and you see only one file...

What was the answer from tech support?

I have spoke toi support yet, figured I would ask here first.  As it dosent do this for all files I scan, I will log a support ticket as Kaspersky need to address this.
