Using the Heuristic Analyzer

The RPC Network Storage Protection task can use heuristic analyzer with a configured level of analysis.

To configure the settings of heuristic analyzer used in the RPC Network Storage Protection task:

1. Open the RPC-Network Storage Protection window.
2. On the General tab, do the following in the Heuristic analyzer section:
   • Clear or select the Use heuristic analyzer check box.
   • If necessary, adjust the level of analysis using the slider.
     

     The heuristic analysis level sets the balance between the thoroughness of searches for threats, the load on the operating system's resources and the time required for scanning.

     The following scanning sensitivity levels are available:

     • Light. Heuristic Analyzer performs fewer instructions within executable files. The probability of threat detection in this mode is somewhat lower. Scanning is faster and less resource-intensive.
     • Medium. Heuristic Analyzer performs the number of executable file instructions recommended by Kaspersky experts.

     This level is selected by default.

     • Deep. Heuristic Analyzer performs more instructions within executable files. The probability of threat detection in this mode is higher. Scanning uses more system resources, takes more time, and can produce a higher number of false alarms.

     The setting is available if the Use heuristic analyzer check box is selected.

3. Click OK.

The newly configured settings are applied.
