You can optimize file scanning when running a virus scan task, thereby reducing the scan time and improving the speed of the application. This can be achieved by scanning only new files and those files that have been modified since the previous scan.
To optimize file scanning:
Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
Do one of the following:
To configure the settings of a task created for the virtual machines within the selected administration group, select the folder with the name of this administration group in the console tree and in the workspace select the Tasks tab.
To configure the settings of a task created for one or more virtual machines (tasks for a set of devices), select the Tasks folder in the console tree.
In the list of tasks, select the required virus scan task for Light Agent for Windows and open the Settings: <Task name> window by double-clicking it.
In the properties window of the task, select the Settings section in the list on the left.
In the right part of the window, in the Security level section, click the Settings button.
In the Virus scan window that opens, on the Scope tab in the Scan optimization section, do the following:
If you want the application to scan only new files and files that have been modified since their previous analysis when running a virus scan task, select the Scan only new and changed files check box.
If you want the application to skip files after a specified amount of time when running a virus scan task, select the Skip files that are scanned for longer than check box and specify the scan duration (in seconds) for one file in the field to the right of the check box.
