Task priority

This section lets you specify a priority for a scan task:

• Low— the scan task is executed with a low priority: no more than 10% of processor resource consumption. Execution of the task takes more time, but the application allocates resources for other tasks.
• Normal (default value) — the scan task is executed with a normal priority: no more than 50% of all processor resources.
• High — the scan task is executed with a high priority, without limiting the consumption of processor resources. Specify this value to perform the current scan task faster.

Name mask

Entry field for a name or a name mask for containers to be scanned.

By default, the * mask is specified – all containers will be scanned.

Scan images

This check box enables or disables the image scan. If the check box is selected, you can specify a name or a name mask for images to be scanned.

The check box is selected by default.

Action on threat detection

In the drop-down list, you can select the action to be performed on an image when an infected object is detected:

• Skip image (default value) – do not perform any actions on the image when an infected object is detected.
• Delete image when an infected object is detected (not recommended). All dependencies will also be deleted. Running containers will be stopped, and then deleted.

Scan SFX archives

This check box enables or disables self-extracting archive scans. Self-extracting archives are the archives that contain an executable extraction module.

If the check box is selected, the application scans self-extracting archives.

If the check box is cleared, the application does not scan self-extracting archives.

This check box is available if the Scan archives check box is unchecked.

The check box is selected by default.

Scan mail format files

This check box enables or disables scan of files of plain-text email messages.

If this check box is selected, the application scans plain-text messages.

If this check box is cleared, the application does not scan plain-text messages.

This check box is cleared by default.

Skip objects larger than (MB)

The field for specifying the maximum size of an archive to scan, in megabytes.

Available values: 0–999999. If the value is set to 0, the application scans objects of any size.

Default value: 0.

Log unprocessed objects

This check box enables or disables the logging ObjectNotProcessed type events if a file cannot be processed during a scan.

If this check box is selected, the application logs the events of the ObjectNotProcessed type.

If this check box is cleared, the application does not log the events of the ObjectNotProcessed type.

This check box is cleared by default.

Use iChecker technology

This check box enables or disables scan of only new and modified since the last scan files.

If the check box is selected, the application scans only new files or the files modified since the last scan.

If the check box is cleared, the application scans the files regardless of the creation or modification date.

The check box is selected by default.

Heuristic analysis level

If the Use heuristic analysis check box is selected, you can select the heuristic analysis level in the drop-down list:

• Light is the least detailed scan with minimal system load.
• Medium is a medium scan with balanced system load.
• Deep is the most detailed scan with maximum system load.
• Recommended (default value) is the optimal level recommended by Kaspersky experts. It ensures an optimal combination of protection quality and impact on the performance of the protected devices.

Second action

In this drop-down list, you can select the second action to be performed by the application on an infected object, in case the first action is unsuccessful:

• Disinfect the object. A copy of the infected object will be saved in the Storage.
• Remove the object. A copy of the infected object will be saved in the Storage.
• Perform recommended action on the object, based on data about the danger level of the threat detected in the file and about the possibility of disinfecting it.
• Skip the object (default value).

   

Exclusions by threat name

This group of settings contains the Configure button, which opens the Exclusions by threat name window. In this window, you can configure the exclusion of objects from scans based on threat name.
