Using heuristic analysis in the operation of the Web Threat Protection component

To increase the effectiveness of protection, you can use heuristic analysis. During heuristic analysis, Kaspersky Endpoint Security analyzes the activity of applications in the operating system. Heuristic analysis can detect threats for which there are currently no records in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security databases.

To configure the use of heuristic analysis:

  1. In the lower part of the main application window, click the icon_settings button.
  2. In the application settings window, select Protection → Essential Threat Protection → Web Threat Protection.
  3. Click the Advanced settings button.
  4. In the Scan methods block, select the Use heuristic analysis check box if you want the application to use heuristic analysis when scanning web traffic for viruses and other malware. Then use the slider to set the heuristic analysis level: Light scan, Medium scan, or Deep scan.
  5. In the Anti-Phishing block, select the Use heuristic analysis check box if you want the application to use heuristic analysis when scanning web pages for phishing links.
  6. Save your changes.
