Configuring performance settings

You can control the performance of Kaspersky Anti-Virus while it scans objects by limiting the time it can spend on scanning one object. Object scanning is stopped when the time limit is exceeded. Kaspersky Anti-Virus assigns not scanned status to the object and proceeds to scanning the next object.

A scan duration limit is configured separately for each protection component.

To configure a scan duration limit:

1. Select the profile whose settings you want to edit.
2. On the action panel, click the Modify button to switch to settings editing mode.
3. On the control panel, open the Mail protection, Replication protection or Database scanning tab and select the General tab (see figure below).

4. In the Performance section, in the Maximum scan time field, define the maximum scan time for one object in seconds. The default maximum scan time is 120 seconds.
5. In the action panel, click the Apply button to save the changes. To restore the default settings, click the Restore defaults button.
