Starting and stopping scan tasks

You can start and stop Full scan, Virus scan, Boot sector scan, and Process and kernel memory scan tasks by using the Kaspersky Endpoint Security GUI.

To start or stop a scan task,

1. Open the main application window.
2. In the main application window, click the Scan button to open the Scan window.
3. Do one of the following:
   • If you want to start a task, click the Start button under the scan task that you want to start.

     The progress of the running task is displayed.

   • If you want to stop a task, click the Stop button under the scan task that you want to stop.

     The scan task stops, and information about scanned objects and detected threats is displayed.

4. If necessary, you can click the Show report button to view the task report.

When an infected object is detected or the scan task is completed, a pop-up window appears in the notification area near the application icon on the right side of the taskbar.

The Scan window also displays the process and the results of the Boot_Scan_{ID} and Scan_File_{ID} temporary tasks. The information about completed temporary tasks displayed in this window can be cleared by the user manually. It is also automatically cleared when the user closes the Scan window by switching to the main application window or closing the application.
