Automatically pausing File Anti-Virus

You can configure File Anti-Virus to automatically pause at a specified time or when handling specific programs.

Pausing File Anti-Virus when it conflicts with some programs is an emergency measure. In case of any conflicts during the operation of a component, we recommend contacting Kaspersky Technical Support (https://companyaccount.kaspersky.com). The support specialists will help you to set up File Anti-Virus to run simultaneously with other programs on your computer.
