You can configure the following general settings of the application:
Application settings
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
Start Kaspersky Endpoint Security at computer startup |
When the check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security is started after the operating system loads, protecting the computer during the entire session. When the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Endpoint Security is not started after the operating system loads, until the user starts it manually. Computer protection is disabled and user data may be exposed to threats. |
Enable Advanced Disinfection technology |
If the check box is selected, a pop-up notification appears on the screen when malicious activity is detected in the operating system. In its notification, Kaspersky Endpoint Security offers the user to perform Advanced Disinfection of the computer. After the user approves this procedure, Kaspersky Endpoint Security neutralizes the threat. After completing the advanced disinfection procedure, Kaspersky Endpoint Security restarts the computer. The advanced disinfection technology uses considerable computing resources, which may slow down other applications. If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is installed on a computer running Windows for Servers, Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not show the notification. Therefore, the user cannot select an action to disinfect an active threat. To disinfect a threat, you need to enable advanced disinfection technology in application settings and run advanced disinfection immediately in Virus Scan task settings. Then you need to start Virus Scan task. |
Use Kaspersky Security Center as proxy server for activation (available only in the Kaspersky Security Center Console) |
If this check box is selected, the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server is used as a proxy server when activating the application. |
Enable Self-Defense |
When this check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security prevents alteration or deletion of application files on the hard drive, memory processes, and entries in the system registry. |
Allow managing Kaspersky Endpoint Security settings via remote control applications |
If the check box is selected, trusted remote administration applications (such as TeamViewer, LogMeIn Pro, and Remotely Anywhere) can modify Kaspersky Endpoint Security settings. Untrusted remote administration applications are prohibited from modifying Kaspersky Endpoint Security settings even when the check box is selected. |
Enable external service control |
If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security allows management of application services from a remote computer. When an attempt is made to manage application services remotely, a notification is displayed in the Microsoft Windows taskbar, above the application icon (unless the notification service has been disabled by the user). |
Postpone scheduled tasks while running on battery power |
If the check box is selected, energy conservation mode is enabled. Kaspersky Endpoint Security postpones scheduled tasks. You can start scan and update tasks manually, if necessary. |
Concede resources to other applications |
When Kaspersky Endpoint Security runs scheduled tasks, this may result in increased workload on the CPU and disk subsystems, which slows down the performance of other applications. When the check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security suspends scheduled tasks when it detects an increased load and frees up operating system resources for user applications. |
Enable dump writing |
If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security writes dumps when it crashes. If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not write dumps. The application also deletes existing dump files from the computer hard drive. |
Enable dump and trace files protection |
If the check box is selected, access to dump files is granted to the system administrator and local administrator as well as to the user who enabled dump writing. Only system and local administrators can access trace files. If the check box is cleared, any user can access dump files and trace files. |
Computer status when settings are applied (available only in the Kaspersky Security Center Console) |
Settings for displaying the statuses of client computers with Kaspersky Endpoint Security installed in the Web Console when errors occur while applying a policy or executing a task. The OK, Warning, and Critical statuses are available. |
