Optimizing file scanning by AMSI Protection

You can optimize file scanning: reduce scan time and increase the operating speed of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. You can select the compound files that need scanning: archives, distribution packages, or files in office formats. You can also limit the size of compound files to be scanned. The AMSI Protection component will not unpack compound files that are larger than the specified size.

A common technique for concealing viruses and other malware is to embed them in compound files such as archives. To detect viruses and other malware that are hidden in this way, the compound file must be unpacked, which may slow down scanning. You can limit the types of compound files to be scanned and thereby speed up scanning.
