Optimizing file scanning

You can optimize file scanning: reduce scan time and increase the operating speed of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. This can be achieved by scanning only new files and those files that have been modified since the previous scan. This mode applies both to simple and to compound files. You can also set a limit for scanning a single file. When the specified time interval expires, Kaspersky Endpoint Security excludes the file from the current scan (except archives and objects that include several files).

You can also enable the use of the iChecker and iSwift technologies. These technologies optimize the speed of scanning files, by excluding files that have not been modified since the most recent scan.

To optimize file scanning:

1. In the main application window, click the Settings button.
2. In the application settings window, select Tasks → Full scan, Critical Areas Scan, Custom scan, or Scan from Context Menu.
3. In the Security level section, click the Settings button.

   A window with the name of the selected scan task opens.

4. In the window that opens, select the Scope tab.
5. In the Scan optimization section, perform the following actions:
   • Select the Scan only new and changed files check box.
   • Select the Skip files that are scanned for longer than check box and specify the scan duration for a single file (in seconds).
6. Save your changes.
