About File Threat Protection

The File Threat Protection component lets you prevent infection of the file system of the computer. By default, the File Threat Protection component starts together with Kaspersky Endpoint Security, continuously resides in the computer's RAM, and scans files that are opened or run on the computer and on its attached drives to find viruses and other potential threats. The scan is performed according to the application settings.

On detecting a threat in a file, Kaspersky Endpoint Security performs the following:

1. Detects the type of object detected in the file (such as a virus or Trojan).
2. The application displays a notification about the malicious object detected in the file (if notifications are configured), and processes the file by taking the action specified in the File Threat Protection component settings.
