Manually configuring the security level settings in the RPC Network Storage Protection task

To manually configure the security settings of an RPC network storage:

1. Open the RPC Network Storage Protection window.
2. Go to the Protection scope tab.
3. In the list of protected network attached storages, select the network attached storage whose security settings you want to configure.
4. Click the Edit button.
5. In the window that opens, configure the settings of the selected network attached storage in accordance with your computer security requirements. To do this, perform the following actions:
   • In the Objects protection section, specify objects to be scanned by Kaspersky Security for Windows Server:
     • All objects
       

       Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans all objects.

     • Objects scanned by format
       

       Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans only infectable objects based on file format.

       Kaspersky compiles the list of formats. It is included in the Kaspersky Security for Windows Server databases.

     • Objects scanned according to list of extensions specified in anti-virus database
       

       Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans only infectable objects based on file extension.

       Kaspersky compiles the list of extensions. It is included in the Kaspersky Security for Windows Server databases.

     • Objects scanned by specified list of extensions
       

       Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans files based on file extension. The list of file extensions can be manually customized in the List of extensions window, which can be opened by clicking the Modify button.

     This setting can be also configured in the network attached storage. If the setting is configured in Kaspersky Security for Windows Server, the network attached storage sends the inapplicable object for scanning, and Kaspersky Security for Windows Server declares the object safe without running a virus scan. If the setting is configured in the network attached storage, the network attached storage does not send the inapplicable object for scanning. To reduce network traffic and the load on the server with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed, it is recommended to configure settings that limit the number of objects scanned in the network attached storage.

   • In the Compound objects protection section, select the compound objects to be scanned by Kaspersky Security for Windows Server.
   • In the Actions section, do the following:
     • In the Action to perform on infected and other objects drop down list, select the action to be performed by Kaspersky Security for Windows Server on detecting an infected object.
     • In the Action to perform on probably infected objects drop down lit, select the action to be performed by Kaspersky Security for Windows Server on detecting a probably infected object.

       Configure actions to be performed on objects depending on the type of object detected.

     • Select the actions to perform on unmodifiable compound files: select or clear the Entirely remove compound file that cannot be modified by the application in case of embedded object detection check box.
       

       This check box enables or disables forced removal of the parent compound file when a malicious, probably infected or other detectable embedded child object is detected.

       If the check box is selected and the task is configured to remove infected and probably infected objects, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server forcibly removes the entire parent compound object when a malicious or other embedded object is detected. The parent file along with all of its contents are forcibly removed if the application cannot remove only the detected child object (for example, if the parent object cannot be modified).

       If this check box is cleared and the task is configured to remove infected and probably infected objects, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not perform the selected action if the parent object cannot be modified.

   • In the Performance section, specify the maximum duration of object scanning and the maximum size of the compound file being scanned.

     If you are using a network attached storage under the Clustered Data ONTAP operating system, this setting can be also configured in the network attached storage. If the setting is configured in Kaspersky Security for Windows Server, the network attached storage sends the inapplicable object for scanning, and Kaspersky Security for Windows Server declares the object safe without running a virus scan. If the setting is configured in the network attached storage, the network attached storage does not send the inapplicable object for scanning. To reduce network traffic and the load on the server with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed, it is recommended to configure settings that limit the number of objects scanned in the network attached storage.

   • In the Exclusions section, specify objects that you want Kaspersky Security for Windows Server to exclude from scanning:
     • To exclude files from scanning, select the Exclude files check box and specify the names or name masks of files to be excluded.
     • To exclude detectable objects (such as remote administration utilities), select the Do not detect check box and specify the names or name masks of detectable objects, according to the Virus Encyclopedia classification.
6. Click the OK button multiple times to save the settings and close all the opened windows.

The configured custom security level settings are saved and applied to the running task.
