Optimizing the load on the operating system
When you run a computer scan using the Kaspersky application, it can consume significant system resources. In order to optimize the load on the system, you can configure the Kaspersky application to run scan tasks (for system memory, the system partition, and startup objects) and to update databases when the computer is locked or the screen saver is activated. This additional setting allows you to enhance the security of your computer without sacrificing performance when you are using it.
If the computer is running on battery, the Kaspersky application will not execute tasks when the computer is idle in order to prolong battery life.
To optimize the load on the operating system:
- Open the main application window.
- Click
in the lower part of the main window.The Settings window opens.
- Go to Performance settings → PC resource consumption.
- Select the Postpone computer scan tasks when the CPU and disk systems are at high load check box.
