Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 for Windows

Enabling and disabling scanning of files in Quarantine after an update

December 22, 2022

ID 128127

If Kaspersky Endpoint Security detects signs of infection when scanning a file but is unable to determine which specific malicious programs have infected it, Kaspersky Endpoint Security moves this file to Quarantine. Kaspersky Endpoint Security may definitely identify the threats and neutralize them after the databases and application modules are updated. You can enable the automatic scanning of files in Quarantine after each update of the databases and application modules.

We recommend that you regularly scan files in Quarantine. Scanning may change the status of files. Some files can then be disinfected and restored to their original locations so that you can continue using them.

To enable scanning of quarantined files after updates:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Advanced settings section, select Reports and Storages.

    In the right part of the window, the management settings for reports and storages are displayed.

  3. In the Quarantine and Backup Settings section, do one of the following:
    • To enable the scanning of quarantined files after each update of Kaspersky Endpoint Security, select the Rescan Quarantine after update check box.
    • To disable the scanning of quarantined files after each update of Kaspersky Endpoint Security, clear the Rescan Quarantine after update check box.
  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
