How to manage general application settings on the command line

General application settings define the operation of the application as a whole and the operation of individual functions.

You can manage general application settings using special management commands:

• Output the current values of general application settings to the console or to a configuration file.
• Edit general application settings using a configuration file containing all general settings, or using command line options in the <setting name>=<setting value> format.

Using general settings, you can:

• Configure Kaspersky Security Network for the application.
• Configure the use of a proxy server in the application.
• Select the file operation interception mode (block/do not block files during a scan).
• Configure exclusions from the mount points scan (global exclusions).
• Configure exclusions from the process memory scan.
• Enable or disable the detection of legitimate applications that intruders can use to compromise devices or data.
• Configure the use of event logs.
• Configure a limit on CPU resource usage by scan tasks (of the ODS type).
• Limit the number of user scan tasks that a non-privileged user can start simultaneously.
• Configure Backup settings.
