Scan section
In the Security level section, you can use the slider to select one of the three available sets of preconfigured scan settings (security levels) created by Kaspersky specialists.
You are advised to use this security level if there is a high chance of computer infection.
As opposed to the default scan settings, the scan settings of this security level cause Kaspersky Security Cloud to scan all types of files. When scanning compound files, Kaspersky Security Cloud also scans mail-format files.
This security level is suitable in most cases and is recommended by Kaspersky specialists.
This security level is the best option for handling applications with significant RAM requirements, because a smaller range of files is scanned when this level is selected
As opposed to the default scan settings, the scan settings of this security level cause Kaspersky Security Cloud to scan only new and changed files. If more than 180 seconds are required to scan files, Kaspersky Security Cloud excludes those files from scanning.
Restore recommended security level
Clicking the link causes Kaspersky Security Cloud to apply the Recommended security level to all types of scans.
The link is displayed if you have selected different levels of security for Full Scan, Quick Scan and Selective Scan.
In the drop-down list, you can select the action that Kaspersky Security Cloud performs on detecting an infected or probably infected object.
The following actions are available:
- Select action automatically. When infected or probably infected objects are detected, Kaspersky Security Cloud automatically performs the action that is recommended by Kaspersky specialists. For infected objects the action is Disinfect, if not possible – delete. The actions that the application performs on probably infected objects depend on the values of the main protection settings.
Before attempting to disinfect or delete an infected object, Kaspersky Security Cloud creates a backup copy in case there is a later need to restore the object or possibility of disinfecting it.
This option is available and enabled by default if automatic protection mode is selected. You can enable automatic protection mode in the application settings window, in the General section, by selecting the Perform recommended actions automatically check box.
- Prompt when scan is complete. If Kaspersky Security Cloud detects an infected or probably infected object during a scan, it notifies you of this event when the scan is complete and prompts you for an action to take on the detected objects.
This option is available and enabled by default if interactive protection mode is selected. You can enable interactive protection mode in the application settings window, in the General section, by clearing the Perform recommended actions automatically check box.
- Prompt on detection. If Kaspersky Security Cloud detects an infected or probably infected object during a scan, it immediately notifies you of this event and prompts you for an action to take on the detected object.
This option is available if interactive protection mode is selected.
- Disinfect. Kaspersky Security Cloud attempts to disinfect all infected objects that are detected. If disinfection fails, Kaspersky Security Cloud blocks access to those objects.
- Disinfect, if not possible – delete. Kaspersky Security Cloud attempts to disinfect all infected objects that are detected. If disinfection fails, Kaspersky Security Cloud deletes the objects.
- Notify. When an infected or probably infected object is detected, a pop-up notification is displayed, showing details about the detected object.
- Delete. If infected or probably infected objects are detected, Kaspersky Security Cloud deletes them. Before deleting an infected or probably infected object, Kaspersky Security Cloud creates a backup copy in case there is a later need to restore the object or possibility of disinfecting it.
Restore default action for all types of scans
Clicking the link causes Kaspersky Security Cloud to apply the default action on threat detection to all types of scans.
The link is displayed if you have selected different actions on threat detection for Full Scan, Quick Scan and Selective Scan.
Scan external devices on connection
In the drop-down list, you can select the action that Kaspersky Security Cloud performs when an external device is connected to the computer.
The following actions are available:
- Prompt for action. When you connect an external device, Kaspersky Security Cloud shows a notification where you can select an action with this device.
- Do not scan. When you connect an external device, Kaspersky Security Cloud does not scan it and does not prompt you for any actions to take on the connected device.
- Scan root folder only. When you connect an external device, Kaspersky Security Cloud scans files in the root folder of the device. This option is selected by default.
- Scan entire device. When you connect an external device, Kaspersky Security Cloud runs a full scan of all files on the external device.
- Scan entire device if the volume is less than 64 GB. When you connect an external device with more than 64 GB of storage space, Kaspersky Security Cloud does not scan it and does not prompt you for any actions to take on the connected device. If the external device has less than 64 GB of storage capacity, Kaspersky Security Cloud runs a full scan of all files on the external device.
In this drop-down list, you can select the scan type and configure the schedule of scans of the selected type.
In this drop-down list, you can select one of the following actions:
- Full Scan settings – open the Full Scan settings window. In this window, you can set the Full Scan security level, select the action on threat detection during Full Scan, modify the Full Scan scope, and configure additional Full Scan settings.
- Quick Scan settings – open the Quick Scan settings window. In this window, you can set the Quick Scan security level, select the action on threat detection during Quick Scan, modify the Quick Scan scope, and configure additional Quick Scan settings.
- Selective Scan settings – open the Selective Scan settings window. In this window, you can set the Selective Scan security level, select the action on threat detection during Selective Scan, and configure additional Selective Scan settings.
- Run scan with user rights – open the User Account Settings window. In this window, you can enter the name and password of the user under whose account the scan task will be performed.
