Virus Scan

By default, Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses the Recommended security level, prompts the user for an action when it detects an infected object after the scan, and scans the following objects:

• All removable drives
• All internal drives
• All network drives
• Memory

If necessary, edit the Virus Scan settings in the Virus Scan window:

1. Select one of the preset security levels or customize security settings.
2. Specify the action that Kaspersky Endpoint Security performs on detecting an infected object.
3. Define a scan scope.

Note: This step is not relevant for local or group tasks.

In the Select devices to which the task will be assigned window, select the method you want to use to specify client computers:

• To select from among computers detected on the network by Administration Server, select the Select networked devices detected by Administration Server option.
• To specify the IP addresses of computers manually or import the IP addresses of computers from a file, select the Specify device addresses manually, or import addresses from list option.
• To create a task for a selection of devices based on a preset criterion, select the Assign task to a device selection option.
• To select computers from a specific administration group, select the Assign task to an administration group option.

Note: This step is not relevant for local or group tasks.

In the window that opens (Select devices, Device selection, or Select Administration group, depending on the option you selected in the previous step), select the client computers, specify the IP addresses of computers, specify a computer selection, or select the administration group to which the task will be applied.

1. In the Configure task scheduling settings window, select the start mode in the Scheduled start drop-down list.

3. If you want to run tasks that the application was unable to start according to schedule (for example, because the computer was turned off at the scheduled time), select the Run missed tasks checkbox.

   Kaspersky Endpoint Security starts the task as soon as the obstacle preventing the task from being started is eliminated.

4. If you want Kaspersky Security Center to automatically determine the interval between task launches on different computers, select the Define task launch delay automatically checkbox.

   This helps to reduce the load on Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

5. To set the interval between task launches on different computers manually, select the Randomize the task start with interval (min) checkbox and specify the number of minutes.

   This helps to reduce the load on Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.
