The File Threat Protection component scans all files that the user runs or copies, even if the file is located on a removable drive. To prevent the spread of malware, you can additionally configure automatic scans of removable drives when they are connected to the computer.
To configure the scanning of removable drives when they are connected to a computer:
The Security profiles section contains a list of security profiles configured in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud.
The security profile properties window displays settings available for all devices.
The settings page opens.
When a removable drive is connected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows scans all files on the removable drive, including files nested in compound objects, archives, distribution packages, and files in Office formats. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows does not scan files in mail formats or password-protected archives.
When a removable drive is connected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows scans only files of specific formats that are most vulnerable to infection, and does not unpack compound objects.
If this option is enabled, the user cannot stop the removable drives scan task via the local interface of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows.
You may want to enable this option to decrease the time that is required for scanning.
After the security profile is applied, the scanning of removable drives on connection is configured on Windows devices.
