Background scan
Background scan is a scan mode of Kaspersky Endpoint Security that does not display notifications for the user. Background scan requires less computer resources than other types of scans (such as a full scan). In this mode, Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans startup objects, the boot sector, system memory, and the system partition. A background scan is started in the following cases:
- After an anti-virus database update.
- 30 minutes after Kaspersky Endpoint Security is started.
- Every six hours.
- When the computer is idling for five minutes or more (the computer is locked or the screensaver is on).
Background scan when the computer is idling is interrupted when any of the following conditions are true:
- The computer went into active mode.
If the background scan has not been run for more than ten days, the scan is not interrupted.
- The computer (laptop) has switched to battery mode.
When performing a background scan, Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not scan files whose contents are located in OneDrive cloud storage.
