Changing the security level

To protect the computer's file system, the File Threat Protection component applies various groups of settings. These groups of settings are called security levels. There are three preset security levels: High, Recommended, and Low. The Recommended security level settings are considered to be the optimal settings recommended by Kaspersky experts.

To change a security level:

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, do one of the following:
   • If you want to set one of the preset security levels (High, Recommended, or Low), select it with the slider.
   • If you want to configure a custom security level, click the Settings button and enter your custom settings in the File Threat Protection window that opens.

     After you configure a custom security level, the name of the security level in the Security level section changes to Custom.

   • If you want to change the security level to Recommended, click the Default button.
4. To save changes, click the Save button.
