Kaspersky Security operation depending upon the SharePoint server settings

The operation of Kaspersky Security in on-access scan mode depends on the values of the anti-virus settings of SharePoint.

Anti-virus settings of SharePoint

SharePoint setting	Value	Impact on the operation of Kaspersky Security
Scan files being uploaded to SharePoint	Check box selected	Kaspersky Security can scan files that are uploaded to SharePoint websites. The application performs on files actions that have been defined in the anti-virus protection settings.
Scan files being uploaded to SharePoint	Check box cleared	Anti-virus protection of files uploaded to SharePoint websites is not available.
Scan files being downloaded from SharePoint	Check box selected	Kaspersky Security can scan files downloaded from SharePoint websites. The application performs on files actions that have been defined in the anti-virus protection settings.
Scan files being downloaded from SharePoint	Check box cleared	Anti-virus protection of files uploaded to SharePoint websites is not available.
Allow users to download infected files	Check box selected	Kaspersky Security cannot block and disinfect files that users access. The application skips infected files.
Allow users to download infected files	Check box cleared	The Attempt to disinfect infected files setting impacts the operation of Kaspersky Security.
Attempt to disinfect infected files	Check box selected	Kaspersky Security can disinfect infected files when they are accessed by users. If the application cannot disinfect a file, it blocks the file.
Attempt to disinfect infected files	Check box cleared	Kaspersky Security can block infected files when they are accessed by users.

The anti-virus protection settings of Kaspersky Security may conflict those of SharePoint. For example, if the Allow users to download infected files check box is selected in the anti-virus protection settings of SharePoint while the Block action is selected in the anti-virus protection settings of Kaspersky Security, the user will be able to download an infected file. Before downloading, the web browser window shows a warning message informing that Kaspersky Security recommends you to avoid downloading that file.

When a conflict arises between the anti-virus protection settings of Kaspersky Security and the anti-virus settings of SharePoint, the latter ones will have the higher priority.
