Changing the security level

To protect the computer's file system, File Anti-Virus applies various groups of settings. These groups of settings are called security levels. There are three preset security levels: High, Recommended, and Low. The Recommended security level settings are considered to be the optimal settings recommended by Kaspersky experts.

To change a security level:

1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Anti-Virus protection section, select the File Anti-Virus subsection.

   In the right part of the window, the settings of the File Anti-Virus component are displayed.

3. In the Security level section, do one of the following:
   • If you want to set one of the preset security levels (High, Recommended, or Low), select it with the slider.
   • If you want to configure a custom security level, click the Settings button and enter your custom settings in the File Anti-Virus window that opens.

     After you configure a custom security level, the name of the security level in the Security level section changes to Custom.

   • If you want to change the security level to Recommended, click the Default button.
4. To save changes, click the Save button.
