Running virus scan command

Run the virus scan command to check computers for viruses and other malware. In the Kaspersky dashboard, accessible from the ConnectWise Automate toolbar, you can view the time when the computer was last scanned for viruses. When an infected object is found during virus scan, the default actions are either to disinfect the object, or, if disinfection is impossible, to skip the object during the scan process.

The virus scan command can only be run on computers that have Kaspersky Endpoint Security or Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed.

When you perform the virus scan command, all exclusions configured in the "Exclusions and trusted zone" section of the security policies are retained.

To scan computers:

  1. In the Kaspersky dashboard, select the Computers tab.
  2. In the list of computers displayed on the Computers tab, select one or more computers for which you want to run the virus scan command.

    To select several individual computers use the Ctrl key, to select a range of computers use the Shift key, or just drag the pointer. To select all the displayed computers, click SelectSelect all on the top command bar.

  3. Start the computer scanning process in one of the following ways:
    • On the top command bar, click Run scan.
    • In the right pane, in the Computer statistics and actions section, click Scan computers.

The scan command is run for the selected computers, which are protected by Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows or Kaspersky Security for Windows Server.

You can view the status and results of the scan command for each computer on the Computer Management screen of ConnectWise Automate.

To view the scan results:

  1. Open the Computer Management screen for the required computer.
  2. On the Computer Management screen, click the Commands tab and view the command status.
