Kaspersky PURE Release 2

How to create a schedule to run Vulnerability scan task automatically in Kaspersky PURE R2?

Back to "Scan" section

In Kaspersky PURE R2 you can choose one of the following variants to start the Vulnerability scan task:

• Manually
• By schedule (automatically)

If you select the Manually variant, then you can start the Vulnerability scan task at any time convenient for you. The vulnerability scan process takes some time to be completed and you cannot use some applications installed on your computer during the scan process.

Selecting the By schedule variant allows to configure the automatical start of the vulnerability scan task. If you select this variant, you can set the the vulnerability scan task frequency. In the schedule settings you can select one of the following frequencies:

• Minutes
• Hours
• Days
• Every week
• At a specified time
• Every month
• After application startup
• After every update

For every frequency you can specify the interval. For example, if you select Every month you can select a particular day to start the scan task (1, 2, 3...) and set particular time (17:00).

If it is not possible to start the task for any reason (for example, the computer was not on at that time), you can configure the task to start automatically as soon as it becomes possible. To do so, check the Run skipped tasks box.

If you prefer not to work on the computer during the scan and lock the operating system, then you can check the box Pause scheduled scan when screensaver is inactive and computer is unlocked. If you check this box, then the scan process will be paused as soon as you begin to work with your computer.
