Automatically pausing File Anti-Virus

You can configure the File Anti-Virus component to pause automatically at a specified time or when handling specified programs.

Pausing File Anti-Virus when it conflicts with some programs is an emergency measure. In case of any conflicts during the operation of a component, contact Kaspersky Technical Support. The support specialists will help you set up File Anti-Virus to run simultaneously with other applications on your virtual machine.

To configure automatic pausing of File Anti-Virus using Kaspersky Security Center:

  1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, open the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant protected virtual machines belong.
  3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
  4. Select a Light Agent for Windows policy in the list of policies and open the Properties: <Policy name> by double-clicking.
  5. In the policy properties window, select the File Anti-Virus section in the list on the left.
  6. In the right part of the window, in the Security level section, click the Settings button.
  7. In the File Anti-Virus window that opens, on the Additional tab, in the Pause operation section, do the following:
    • To configure automatic pausing of File Anti-Virus at a specified time:
      1. Select the By schedule check box and click the Schedule button.
      2. In the Pause operation window that opens, in the Pause task at and Resume task at fields, specify the time (in the HH:MM format) during which the File Anti-Virus will be paused.
      3. Click OK.
    • To configure automatic pausing of File Anti-Virus when specified applications are launched:
      1. Select At application startup and click the Select button.
      2. In the Applications window that opens, use the Add, Edit, and Delete buttons to create a list of applications. File Anti-Virus is not suspended when these applications are running.
      3. Click OK.

To configure automatic pausing of File Anti-Virus in the local interface:

    In the right part of the window, the File Anti-Virus component's settings are displayed.

    If the settings in the local interface are not available, this means that the values of settings defined by the policy are used for all protected virtual machines of the administration group.

  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
