Malware Scan > Scanning removable drives when they are connected to the computer
Scanning removable drives when they are connected to the computer
Scanning removable drives when they are connected to the computer
Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans all files that you run or copy, even if the file is located on a removable drive (File Threat Protection component). To prevent the spread of viruses and other malware, you can configure automatic scans of removable drives when they are connected to the computer. Kaspersky Endpoint Security automatically attempts to disinfect all infected files that are detected. If disinfection fails, Kaspersky Endpoint Security deletes the files. The component keeps a computer secure by running scans that implement machine learning, heuristic analysis (high level) and signature analysis. Kaspersky Endpoint Security also uses iSwift and iChecker scan optimization technologies. The technologies are always on and cannot be disabled.

Removable drives scan task settings
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
Action on a removable drive connection |
Detailed Scan. If this item is selected, when a removable drive is connected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans all files on the removable drive, including files nested in compound objects, archives, distribution packages, and files in office formats. Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not scan files in mail formats or password-protected archives. Quick Scan. If this option is selected, after a removable drive is connected Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans only files of specific formats that are most vulnerable to infection, and does not unpack compound objects. |
Maximum removable drive size |
If this check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security performs the action that is selected in the Action on a removable drive connection drop-down list on removable drives with a size not more than the specified maximum drive size. If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Endpoint Security performs the action that is selected in the Action on a removable drive connection drop-down list on removable drives of any size. |
Show scan progress |
If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security displays the progress of removable drives scan in a separate window and in the Tasks section. If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Endpoint Security performs removable drives scan in the background. |
Block the stopping of the scan task |
