Checking the integrity of application

Kaspersky Endpoint Security checks the application files in the application installation folder for corruption or modifications. For example, if an application library has an incorrect digital signature, the library is considered corrupt. The Integrity check task is intended for scanning application files. Run the Integrity check task if Kaspersky Endpoint Security detected a malicious object but did not neutralize it.

You can create the Integrity Check task only in the Kaspersky Security Center 12 Web Console. It is not possible to create a task in the Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console. You can also create the Integrity Check task in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.

To run an application integrity check:

1. In the main window of Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.

   The list of tasks opens.

2. Click the Add button.

   The Task Wizard starts.

3. Configure the task settings:
   1. In the Application drop-down list, select Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows (11.3.0).
   2. In the Task type drop-down list, select Integrity check.
   3. In the Task name field, enter a brief description, for example, Check the integrity of the application after a computer infection.
   4. In the Select devices to which the task will be assigned section, select the task scope.
4. Select devices according to the selected task scope option. Click the Next button.
5. Finish the wizard by clicking the Finish button.

   A new task will be displayed in the list of tasks.

6. Select the check box next to the task.
7. Click the Run button.

As a result, Kaspersky Endpoint Security will check the integrity of the application. You can also configure an application integrity check schedule in the task properties.

Application integrity breaches may occur in the following cases:

• A malicious object modified files of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. In this case, perform the procedure for restoring Kaspersky Endpoint Security using the tools of the operating system. After restoration, run a full scan of the computer and repeat the integrity check.
• The digital signature expired. In this case, update Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
