Automatic pausing of File Threat Protection

You can configure File Threat Protection to automatically pause at a specified time or when working with specific applications.

File Threat Protection should be paused only as a last resort when it conflicts with some applications. In case of any conflicts during the operation of a component, we recommend contacting Kaspersky Technical Support (https://companyaccount.kaspersky.com). The support experts will help you set up the File Threat Protection component to run simultaneously with other applications on your computer.

To configure automatic pausing of File Threat Protection:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Essential Threat Protection section, select File Threat Protection.

    The settings of the File Threat Protection component are displayed in the right part of the window.

  3. In the Security level section, click the Settings button.

    The File Threat Protection window opens.

  4. In the File Threat Protection window, select the Additional tab.
  5. In the Pause task section:
    • If you want to configure automatic pausing of File Threat Protection at a specified time, select the By schedule check box and click the Schedule button.

      The Pause task window opens.

    • If you want to configure automatic pausing of File Threat Protection at startup of specified applications, select the At application startup check box and click the Select button.

      The Applications window opens.

  6. Do one of the following:
    • If you are configuring automatic pausing of File Threat Protection at a specified time, in the Pause task window, use the Pause task at and Resume task at fields to specify the time period (in HH:MM format) during which File Threat Protection should be paused. Click OK.
