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 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:
- In the main application window, click the Tasks button.
- In the opened window, select the scan task and click the
button. - Click the Advanced settings button.
- In the Scan optimization block, configure the scan settings:
- Scan only new and changed files. Scans only new files and those files that have been modified since the last time they were scanned. This helps reduce the duration of a scan. This mode applies both to simple and to compound files.
- Skip files that are scanned for longer than N seconds. Limits the duration for scanning a single object. After the specified amount of time, Kaspersky Endpoint Security stops scanning a file. This helps reduce the duration of a scan.
- Save your changes.
